The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has blasted the National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rauf Aregbesola, over a comment claiming that the opposition coalition will take over Aso Rock and the Lagos State government in 2027.
Naija News reports that Aregbesola, who served as governor and minister of the interior as an APC member, boasted on Saturday that ADC will unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Aregbesola made the remarks while unveiling a grassroots mobilisation strategy aimed at securing victories both at the federal level and in Lagos State.
However, in a statement issued on Sunday by its spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, the APC mocked Aregbesola, stressing that he has become a wandering tenant in a mushroom opposition party.
Oladejo stated that Aregbesola, in a desperate bid for relevance, is busy setting fire to the same house that made him.
According to the party’s spokesperson, putting Aregbesola at the front of a charge against the APC is a recipe for failure.
He said, “Here is a man who was once a proud landlord in the progressive family, now reduced to a wandering tenant in a mushroom opposition party.
“From Lagos Commissioner to Osun Governor and then Minister, Aregbe ate, dined, and thrived on the APC table. Today, in a desperate bid for relevance, he is busy setting fire to the same house that made him. That, dear Nigerians, is political suicide of the highest order.
“If the opposition ADC thinks the former governor is the one to lead them to electoral glory, then they are preparing for a funeral, not a victory.
“Ogbeni Aregbesola’s rant is less a threat to APC and more a public obituary of his own political relevance. By turning his back on the progressive family that made him, he has written himself out of history and into the footnotes of infamy.
“If ADC insists on betting its future on a man dismantling his own legacy, then the only “takeover” awaiting them in 2027 will be a takeover by ridicule.”
