Lagos, Nigeria – The Speaker of the Lagos Sate House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has derided the newly formed opposition coalition led by the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing it as a feeble alliance incapable of challenging the dominance of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking at the Lagos West 1 APC senatorial rally held at Ifako Mini Stadium on Wednesday, Obasa dismissed the coalition—which includes prominent figures like Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Nasir el-Rufai, and Rotimi Amaechi—as lacking direction and credibility.
He likened the opposition’s efforts to unseat the APC in the 2027 elections to a "stillborn child," emphasizing that the coalition lacks proper structure and planning.
"A pregnancy takes nine months to develop, and after birth, the child must be nurtured to maturity. Whatever the ADC is trying to assemble holds no significance,"Obasa stated.
Asserting the APC’s supremacy, he noted that the ruling party remains the only political organization with a solid nationwide structure and a proven track record. In contrast, he claimed the opposition was merely posturing without a concrete strategy.
"Their umbrella is torn, and the ADC is nothing but a paperweight,"* Obasa declared, urging Lagos residents to remain steadfast in their support for the APC and participate fully in the upcoming July 12 local government elections.
The event was attended by key APC figures, including Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu (represented by Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat), former Senator Ganiyu Solomon, and House of Representatives member Abiodun Faleke.
