Former Governor of Osun state and National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will lose the 2027 general elections.
Aregbesola , a former minister of Interior expressed confidence that the ADC would take over the mantle of leadership in Nigeria and in most of the states, despite what he described as the “grandstanding” of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He stated this at the weekend in Ilorin, Kwara state capital while fielding questions from journalists after commissioning the State secretariat of the ADC along Basin Road.
He stressed : “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.
“How can we interpret what APC is doing all over Nigeria to us? They are harassing and intimidating every one of our members — not just our leaders, but nationwide, be it Lagos, Kebbi, or Kaduna.
“If indeed they are confident of the strength they are showcasing, one would expect that they would be calm, but the reverse is the case. What does that tell you? They themselves know that they are not popular, and the party that will harvest their unpopularity is the ADC.
“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”.
Aregbesola also took a swipe at governors defecting to the APC, describing them as “enemies of the people.”
In a related development, the immediate past governor of Kwara State, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, who recently left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the ADC, said the party is ready to provide credible leadership and rescue the country from its current challenges.
