Ajibola Basiru, national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), compared the ruling party’s grassroots engagement to the door-to-door evangelism of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Speaking on Politics Today on Channels Television, Basiru described the opposition in Nigeria as “unserious” and “inactive.”
“We cannot do the work of opposition for them,” Basiru stated, criticizing the lack of activity in other political party headquarters. He also defended the defection of several lawmakers to the APC, asserting that many had no issues with anti-graft agencies. “Do they have any problem with the EFCC or ICPC?” he asked.
Basiru commended the APC’s leadership under President Bola Tinubu and noted that the party is focused on building a functional structure at all levels of government.
