New Era Begins: BASA Joins ADC, Urges Youths and Women to Rally for Change


Honourable Bolanle Aminat Sarumi, popularly known as BASA, a seasoned humanitarian, women and youth advocate, and former special adviser to Governor Seyi Makinde on diaspora matters, has officially declared her defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Known for her unwavering commitment to social development, gender equity, and youth inclusion, BASA’s move marks a significant turning point in her political career and the political landscape of Oyo State.

In her public declaration speech delivered today, Hon. Sarumi emphasized the urgency of building a new Nigeria and called on her loyal supporters, especially women and youths across the country, to join her in strengthening the ADC as a platform for inclusive, people-driven leadership.

PUBLIC DECLARATION SPEECH BY HON. BOLANLE AMINA SARUMI (BASA)
ON OFFICIAL JOINING OF THE AFRICAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (ADC)
July 9th, 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.
