- Opposition Fears Scrutiny, Seeks Power Without Responsibility – Lagos APC

As Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections, the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused opposition parties of growing desperation and seeking power without responsibility.
Eko Hot Blog reports that Mogaji Seye Oladejo, spokesman for APC in Lagos State, said the opposition has resorted to demanding political immunity from scrutiny and accountability because it lacks credible ideas and a coherent vision.

In a statement, Oladejo criticised those condemning the government over the arrest of opposition figures for alleged corruption during their tenure, describing such reactions as an attempt to evade responsibility.
He said: “Stripped of ideas, credibility, and public trust, the opposition has now resorted to an audacious and shameful demand for political immunity from scrutiny, accountability, and consequence. Unable to defend their records in office or articulate a coherent alternative vision for Nigeria, opposition figures have chosen to cry persecution each time they are confronted with facts, interrogated by public opinion, or held to the same standards they once weaponized against others.
They want power without responsibility, ambition without accountability, and relevance without performance. That era is long gone.”
Oladejo added that the opposition’s desperation is evident in their fear of accountability, which has led them to seek political cover rather than public validation. He warned that attempts to demand immunity are unconstitutional and will not succeed.
“The government will neither be blackmailed nor ambushed into granting protection to political actors who have not earned the trust of Nigerians. Immunity is not a campaign strategy, and persecution narratives will not erase documented failures,” Oladejo stated.
