National Secretary of the All Progressive Congress, Ajibola Basiru, has said that any politician who is serious about winning elections must align with the party.

According to Basiru, aside the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the APC is the only party that has tasted victory in national elections.

He said that makes the ruling party a proven vehicle to victory and the strongest political party in the country.

Basiru pointed out that the coalition coming against the APC in 2027 has nothing to show in terms of electoral victory.

He told Arise News, “Aside from the PDP, APC remains the strongest political machinery for winning elections in Nigeria today.

Many of the groups calling themselves coalitions are yet to prove themselves as credible electoral forces, and for now, they appear more like political distractions than serious alternatives.”

APC officially came to power in 2015 through a coalition that came together in 2013 and picked Muhammadu Buhari as its presidential candidate.

Buhari defeated Goodluck Jonathan, an incumbent president in what was seen as historic in Nigerian political history, marking the very first time an opposition party peacefully unseated a ruling party.

It was a merger of three major legacy opposition parties, the ACN, CPC, and ANPP that formed the APC, which came with a change mantra.

i dont think these people understand the situation of things on ground or with the masses,people are hungry and angry , even the president has lost the followership of his yoruba tribe people , go to the streets in the south west and hear peoples comments , tinub will definitely not get up to the amount of votes he got the last time , and to cap it all he has a very very formidable opponent who has the massive nigerian youth behind him . rigging wont work like it did the last time

Uprooting the cancer called APC should be the 2027 vision of a serious country. APC raked the PDP over the coals just to win elections. When it did, its members became the absolute worst!

One issue I have with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is that he prioritizes politics over governance. He has displayed that many times.

Last night, I watched Governor Seyi Makinde's press conference after a security meeting with service commanders and heads of security agencies in the state on the Friday morning kidnapping incident in Oriire LG of Oyo State.

He confirmed one killed, seven teachers, and an unknown number of students abducted.

We are talking about young children. I couldn't stand watching the video of the elderly people crying, begging for their relatives’ release.

This morning made it the third day since the incident occurred, and nothing from the Presidency yet. Not even a statement.

Even the President's spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, chose to repost a political article ‘Seyi and his 2027 gamble’ yesterday. Agbalagba toh sey lagba lagba.

Instead of the president visiting, or inviting GSM to Abuja for a briefing, he chose to host Otunba Gbenga Daniel last night over Ogun state politics.

I'm not sorry to say: We don't have a sensitive, empathetic, and responsive leader and these are important qualities of a good leader!

i dont think these people understand the situation of things on ground or with the masses . and i am very sure it is all these kind of mumu talks they are talking into tinubu head . ok oo . we shall see

How do you expect Tinunu that have sold his human conscience to the devil many decades ago in exchange for political power to have human conscience?



Tinubu lack empathy.


He is so wicked, mindless, conscienceless and criminal minded. All he cares is self satisfaction and progress. I keep wondering how Yorubas refused to see who he is despite his obvious actions even as a President

When you become president make sure that you visit every village that people die. Who is the chief security officer of Oyo State? Is he not supposed to coordinate things and brief the president?

When banditry is rampant in Kwara State and Oyo shares forests with Kwara, what preemptive step did the governor take? He was busy up and down about PDP politics. When his ineptitude shows up you blame the president. One of the reasons for relative security calm in Lagos state is because a security trust form was set up from the days of Tinubu. The private and public sectors contribute money to it. That's why the security agencies are funded more beyond federal provision. What are the other governors doing? What is their strategy?
