A former Osun State Governor and National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has declared that the ruling All Progressives Congress has failed Nigerians, insisting that the ADC now stands as the only credible alternative ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Aregbesola made the assertion on Saturday at the official unveiling of the ADC Secretariat in Ilorin, Kwara State, where he accused the APC of mismanaging the nation’s affairs through incompetence, greed, and poor leadership, which he said have plunged the country into hunger, insecurity, and infrastructural decay.
“Under the current administration, hunger has taken over the land. Governance has been reduced to personal enrichment and political intimidation. Nigerians are suffering because of the failure of leadership at all levels under the APC,” Aregbesola said.
He alleged that the APC had become intolerant of opposition voices, using state machinery to silence dissent.
“If the APC is confident of its strength, it would not be hounding and haunting opposition members everywhere,” he added.
Aregbesola described the ADC as a “party of conscience and service,” expressing optimism that the growing discontent among Nigerians would translate into victory for the party in 2027.
“The hatred of Nigerians for the ruling party is obvious, and the party that will harvest that unpopularity is the ADC,” he declared.
