Lagos State's ruling All Progressives Congress has condemned statements made by African Democratic Congress National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola regarding opposition plans for 2027 elections. The former Osun State Governor announced during Saturday's political event that his party would capture both federal and state power. Aregbesola attended the gathering to welcome Labour Party Conscience Forum leader Moshood Salvador and his followers into ADC membership.
Party spokesperson Seye Oladejo described the former minister as someone who benefited from APC leadership positions before joining what he termed a minor opposition group. The statement characterized Aregbesola's political journey from Lagos Commissioner through state governor to federal minister as evidence of APC's support for his career advancement. Officials argued that his current opposition stance represents the destruction of relationships that enabled his political success.
The ruling party dismissed ADC's electoral prospects under Aregbesola's guidance as unrealistic. Leaders suggested that choosing him as their standard-bearer would guarantee defeat rather than victory in the upcoming contests.
