Aregbesola

The Interim National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, has expressed confidence that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will be defeated in the 2027 general elections if opposition parties unite under a common front.

He made this known while speaking during a stakeholders’ meeting of the ADC held in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

Aregbesola stated that the ADC is spearheading the formation of a broad coalition made up of progressive-minded Nigerians determined to challenge the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

“Let us put personal interests aside and unite. We have multiple elections ahead presidential, National Assembly, and state election and with unity, we cannot be defeated,” Aregbesola told party members.

He emphasized that the ADC is receiving backing from key opposition figures, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party’s Peter Obi, both of whom he said are lending their support to the ADC-led coalition movement aimed at repositioning Nigeria.

Aregbesola, however, warned that the APC would not sit idle and would resort to coordinated propaganda aimed at destabilizing the coalition.

Vanguard reports that he urged party faithful to remain vigilant and focused, and not to be distracted by misinformation or internal bickering.

Also speaking at the meeting, Hon. Gbenga Edema, a former governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Ondo State, accused the ruling party of orchestrating campaigns of disinformation against the ADC.

“The court cases being hyped are mere distractions. They have no bearing on our political activities,” Edema said, praising Aregbesola for providing clear insight into both internal and national matters during the meeting.

In his remarks, also, Hon. Akin Akinbobola, a former chieftain of the APC and ex-Special Assistant to former Governor Olusegun Mimiko, decried Nigeria’s worsening situation and called on all progressive forces to join the ADC-led movement to “rescue Nigeria from sinking.”

“Nigeria is in distress insecurity, hunger, and collapsed infrastructure are everyday realities. The ADC is offering a vehicle to restore hope through unity and reform,” Akinbobola asserted.

He further disclosed that the coalition is gaining momentum, with over 10 political parties already participating in recent strategic meetings aimed at strengthening the alliance.

“We are building a large political force. It will be like a tsunami sweeping across the country. The challenge is managing the size, but there’s room for everyone,” he said.
