PUBLIC DECLARATION SPEECH BY HON. BOLANLE AMINA SARUMI (BASA)
ON OFFICIAL JOINING OF THE AFRICAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (ADC)
Delivered on Wednesday, July 9, 2025
To the dear people of the State, including my leaders,
All my loyal coordinators at the local and ward levels,
resilient youths and courageous women across Nigeria,
Today, the 9th of July 2025, marks a defining moment in my political journey, and in the journey toward the Nigeria we all dream of.
I, Honourable Bolanle Aminat Sarumi, also fondly known as BASA, officially declare to you today that I have joined the African Democratic Congress — the ADC.
I do not take this decision lightly. After deep reflection, extensive consultation, and prayerful consideration, I am convinced that the ADC is the political platform that best reflects the vision of a New Nigeria—a Nigeria where good governance thrives, voices are heard, potentials are unlocked, and leadership is people-centered.
I hereby use this platform today to call on all my loyal coordinators across Oyo State—both at the Local Government and Ward levels—to join the ADC en masse. This is the time to stand up and be counted. We have no time to waste. Mobilization has begun and the movement must grow stronger and louder than ever before.
I also extend this call to every member of the Nigerian Youth and Women Rescue Mission—from the north to the south, east to the west—let us migrate to ADC state by state. We must unite under a platform that is inclusive, progressive, and willing to take bold steps toward national transformation.
To the young people watching today: your energy, your ideas, your dreams—they matter. Nigeria needs your voice. Nigeria needs your courage. This is your time to rise, engage, and lead.
To the women of Nigeria: our strength is unmatched, our hearts unshaken. It’s time to rewrite the story. Let’s show the world that women are not only the backbone of our homes, but also the architects of national change.
ADC offers us a clean slate—a space to dream again, a platform to build again, a future to own again. Let us not sit on the sidelines. Let us lead from the front. Let us bring integrity, purpose, and action back into politics.
Together, we will build a Nigeria that works for all, not a few. A Nigeria where our children can grow with hope, where justice and opportunity are not privileges, but rights.
This is our time. This is our movement. And ADC is our vehicle.
I remain your loyal servant,
Honourable Bolanle Aminat Sarumi (BASA)
For the people. For progress. For Nigeria.
ADC Arise and Shine Nigeria.
