ADC will defeat Tinubu, take over Aso Rock in 2027, says Oyegun

Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun, says the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is prepared to unseat President Bola Tinubu and take over Aso Rock in the 2027 general election.

Oyegun, a former governor of Edo State, made the remarks on Tuesday at the party’s ongoing national convention in Abuja, where he criticised the current state of governance in the country and lamented the hardship facing Nigerians despite the nation’s vast resources.

“We are the largest black nation on the face of this earth. God designed that for a purpose, but see what we have done to it,” he said.

He expressed confidence in the ADC leadership and said the party was fully prepared for political competition and eventual takeover of government.

“And so I am so thrilled when I look at our chairman and I look at the leaders around him, and I say, ‘Thank God we are ready for this struggle, and thank God we are ready to move,’” he said.

Oyegun added that the party was determined to bring change and accountability if elected into power, stressing that leadership must come with consequences for actions.

“We are ready to take over Aso Rock, and it is not going to be business as usual. I want everybody to know that because they keep accusing us that John, you were part of them,” he said.

He further said the party’s mission was to “rescue” Nigeria, adding that accountability and performance would be central to its governance approach.

“Let us go into this fight, let us go into this struggle, not looking at the past but deciding that from the day we come into office, every person’s action must have a consequence,” he added.

Oyegun also said the party was “already en route to the villa,” calling for courage to “salvage this long-suffering nation.”

At the same convention, ADC National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola described the Tinubu administration’s “Renewed Hope Agenda” as a “scam,” saying the government’s promises had not been fulfilled nearly three years into its tenure.
