Policy strategist Baba Yusuf has strongly criticised Nigeria’s current opposition, describing it as the weakest the country has ever seen.

In a widely shared video, he said the opposition is so ineffective that he now calls it “lazy opposition.” According to him, things have never been this bad for those who are supposed to check the ruling government.

Baba Yusuf pointed out that a strong opposition is important for good governance and accountability. He believes the present opposition lacks direction, energy, and proper strategies to challenge the government effectively.

His comments have sparked fresh discussions about the state of politics in Nigeria and the role of opposition parties.

Many people who watched the video agree with his view. Some say the opposition has failed to present clear alternatives or hold leaders responsible for key issues like insecurity, the economy, and hardship faced by ordinary citizens. Others believe the opposition is too divided to make any meaningful impact.

The statement comes at a time when political conversations are already heating up ahead of future elections.

Nigerians are paying close attention to how opposition parties are positioning themselves. Baba Yusuf’s words have reminded many that a weak opposition can allow the ruling party to operate without enough checks and balances.

As the clip continues to spread online, it has left many wondering what the opposition needs to do to become stronger and more effective.

For now, Baba Yusuf’s description of a “lazy opposition” has become a major talking point among politicians, analysts, and citizens who want better political competition in the country.
