Former Minister of Interior and National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has declared that his party, by the grace of God, will assume leadership in Nigeria and in most states during the 2027 elections, despite the current grandstanding of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Aregbesola, also a former Governor of Osun State, made the statement yesterday in Ilorin during an interview with journalists after commissioning the state secretariat of the party along Basin Road, Ilorin.
He criticized the APC for harassing and intimidating ADC members across the country, noting that such actions reflect the party’s lack of popularity. “If APC is confident of its strength, it won’t be so hyped and charged as to be hounding and hunting opposition all over the place,” he said.
Aregbesola questioned the ruling party’s nationwide campaign of intimidation, adding, “If indeed they are confident of the strength they are showcasing, one would expect that they will be so calm but the reverse is the case, so what does that tell you? They themselves know that they are not popular and the party that will harvest their unpopularity is ADC.”
Addressing the recent defections of governors to the APC, he remarked, “The governors that are going to APC are the enemies of the people and people know this. They are hated, so it is good riddance to bad rubbish.”
He concluded with confidence, asserting, “Regardless of the grandstanding, by the grace of God, ADC will take over the mantle of leadership in Nigeria and in most of the states.”
