The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Basiru, has responded to a request by the African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, seeking permission to launch his campaign at the Presidential Villa.

Sowore had formally approached the relevant authorities to obtain approval to hold his campaign launch at the seat of presidential power.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Basiru was asked whether he would recommend that his party permit the AAC candidate to proceed with the request.

In response, the APC national secretary dismissed Sowore, describing him as a skit maker.

“Sowore is a skit maker. Let him struggle to even get a seat in the House of Assembly as a politician, and then people will begin to take him seriously,” he said.

Basiru further claimed that during the 2023 general election, rejected ballot papers recorded more votes than the AAC, the party led by Sowore.

He added, “Sowore is my friend. We were in the trenches together. He’s a skit maker. He knows that that will not happen. Let him struggle to even get a seat in the House of Assembly as a political party. Then people will begin to take him seriously.

“Even rejected ballot paper had more votes than his party in 2023 election. So that means that rejected ballot paper is more popular than his political party. So he’s just making skits.

“He knows that he’s not contending anything. If I see him, I will tell him, ‘you are just a comedian’. He’s a comedian.”
