Former Governor of Osun State and National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola,* has declared the ADC as Nigeria’s only credible alternative political platform, describing it as a *lparty of conscience, integrity, and service to the people.
Aregbesola made the declaration on Saturday during the official unveiling of the ADC’s new state secretariat in Ilorin the Kwara State capital.
In his address, Aregbesola strongly criticised the ruling *All Progressives Congress (APC)* for what he described as *poor governance, economic mismanagement, and leadership failure*, which have deepened poverty and hunger across the nation.
Under the current administration, hunger has taken over the land. Governance has been reduced to personal enrichment and political intimidation, Aregbesola stated. *Nigerians are suffering today because of the failure of leadership under the APC.*
He maintained that the *worsening economic hardship* facing Nigerians will inevitably drive more citizens toward the ADC a party he said is *built on the values of discipline, accountability, and genuine public service.*
The *ADC* represents *hope for a new Nigeria* one where government truly serves the people and restores dignity to governance, he added.
The event in Ilorin drew party leaders, stakeholders, and supporters from across the North Central region, marking another bold step in the ADC’s preparations for the *2027 general elections.
