The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has stated that it is not the job of the ruling party to strengthen the opposition.<\/p>\n
Speaking during an interview on Trust TV, Yilwatda dismissed claims of a one-party state.<\/p>\n
He argued that the opposition is more interested in granting television interviews than in going out on the streets to mobilise support.<\/p>\n
Yilwatda disclosed that he has been visiting different states to mobilise people behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not our duty to help our enemies to grow. I can\u2019t feed my enemy. It\u2019s not my duty. So they should labour, they should go to the streets. That\u2019s why I keep on saying that they spend more time on TV talking.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cYesterday, I came back from Taraba. Tomorrow, I\u2019m going to Katsina. I\u2019m not receiving a governor. I\u2019m going for mobilization. I\u2019m engaging people. I\u2019m talking to people. On Saturday, I\u2019ll be in a different state again, where I\u2019ll meet with people, discussing and mobilizing behind the scene,<\/em>\u201d he said.<\/p>\n According to him, most of their work happens behind the scenes, stressing that what the public sees on TV is only the outcome, but the real process takes place away from the cameras.<\/p>\n His remark follows the growing number of governors joining the APC.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has stated that it is not the job of the ruling party to strengthen the opposition.
