Only APC Card-Carrying Members Will Get Job, Admission Opportunities Under Tinubu – Lawmaker

A member of the House of Representatives representing Apa/Agatu Federal Constituency, Ojotu Ojema, has reportedly claimed that job placements and admission opportunities under the present administration of President Bola Tinubu may largely be accessed by only card-carrying members of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Daily Post reported that Ojema, who was elected on the platform of the PDP in 2023 but defected to the APC in 2025, made the claims while speaking to members of the National Association of Agatu Students, where he advised constituents, especially youths, to formally join the ruling party by obtaining APC membership cards.

According to him, political affiliation could play a role in determining who benefits from upcoming government programmes and interventions.

He said: “The party that is good for us in Agatu, the one that will carry me along and help our people here, is All Progressives Congress.

“If you know it is not just about politics but about opportunities, get your APC card and be a member.

“Go and collect it, because tomorrow when you are looking for admission into a school, remember that the president of this country belongs to APC.

“We have 36 states plus the FCT, making 37. About 30 governors are already in APC, plus the FCT, making 31, and more are still joining. So follow APC.

“If you are not in APC and job opportunities come, nobody may consider you if your NIN is not registered with APC. You may lose the opportunity. Don’t let anybody deceive you — follow APC.”
