News Update
THE national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Basiru, has likened the ruling party to Jehovah’s Witnesses — a Christian group famed for its door-to-door evangelism.
The politician also described the opposition in Nigeria as unserious and inactive.
Basiru who spoke on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television, on Wednesday.
He was reacting to claims that the APC and the Bola Tinubu-led federal government are steering Nigeria towards a one-party state due to the wave of defections to the ruling party.
“The country is not our making. The politics of the country is not our making,” Basiru said.
“I think the problem with Nigeria is that we don’t seem to have people who are very serious in opposition and who take their job seriously.
“You will not want a ruling party to do this work for you. And I want to challenge your journalists. Tomorrow is a working day. Go around the headquarters of all other political parties and see whether you see any activity going on.”
Basiru commended the leadership of the APC and said the party actively engages the grassroots.
“I must first and foremost give credence to the sagacity of not only the president, but the progressives governors’ forum and the leadership of the national working committee of our party,” he said.
“We go round, we are like Jehovah’s Witnesses, apology to those who belong to that religious organisation… we go round and proselytise our own party in all nooks and cranny.”

He said one of the key policies under the leadership of Abdullahi Ganduje, national chairman of the APC, is to build a functional and efficient party structure at every level in the country.
“That is what we are doing. We cannot do the work of opposition for them,” he said.
