Former Senator Ajibola Basiru has likened the All Progressives Congress (APC) to Jehovah’s Witnesses, saying that the party's recruitment strategy involves going door-to-door to gain new members. He made the comments while discussing the party's efforts to expand and strengthen its ranks, particularly focusing on its approach to attracting new supporters across Nigeria.
- Senator Basiru compares APC’s recruitment to Jehovah’s Witnesses' door-to-door tactics.
- The APC focuses on widespread recruitment across Nigeria to strengthen its base.
- The comment sheds light on the party’s aggressive strategy to attract new members ahead of future elections.
- APC is preparing for a stronger political presence, despite its internal challenges.
Basiru’s comments highlight the APC’s strategy of actively seeking new members to ensure its future electoral success. By using a methodical, personal approach, the party aims to grow its influence and win more support across the country. This kind of outreach might seem unconventional to some, but it speaks to the APC’s determination to stay relevant and dominant. While some may find this comparison with religious outreach amusing, it shows a serious commitment to grassroots mobilising and long-term political positioning.
