Fresh tension is rising in Nigeria’s political space as the APC has openly dismissed the much-talked-about opposition gathering in Ibadan.
Senator Ajibola Basiru, National Secretary of the ruling party, said the meeting involving several parties is being exaggerated and lacks real structure. According to him, it does not represent any serious plan to challenge the APC ahead of 2027.
My fellow Nigerians, is this the beginning of another political showdown?
The full details are right there in the underlined part above — you need to see it with your own eyes. What was said there is already causing serious political tension — do not ignore that underlined section.
Basiru questioned claims that about 10 parties were present, insisting that no party can officially attend such a meeting without approval from its top leadership.
He also pointed out ongoing crises within opposition parties, saying they are too divided to form a strong alliance against the APC.
Nigerians are reacting, especially after he warned Governor Seyi Makinde over comments linked to “Operation Wet e,” describing such remarks as risky and unnecessary.
