Tinubu said: “A human being must be able to associate and join any political party he or she wants, so you cannot stop them, or discriminate against them. If any member of a party is coming into APC and he is discriminated upon, it will be unfair.
“A good political party must be tolerant, accommodating to any member of a party coming into APC as long as they do not import corruption and injustice into our party."
"It is necessary for us to be tolerant and that is why APC is welcoming them into the party and we shall not discriminate against them.”
