The National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has called on Nigerians to join the party in dislodging the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC from power.

Aregbesola said ADC is ready to rescue Nigeria from the present administration which has ?taken the country backward,? adding that the ADC is built on substance, service, and trust.

Addressing ADC members and loyalists who came out in large numbers to welcome him to Osogbo, Osun State capital, Aregbesola emphasized that the ADC?s mission provides a viable alternative with a leadership that listens, serves, and delivers.

The two-term governor of Osun affirmed that while obstacles are inevitable, they will not derail the party?s focused drive to offer Nigerians a credible, people-first alternative in the 2027 general elections.

He said, ?We are not here to trade insults. We are here to restore what has been lost ? dignity, competence, and direction.?

Aregbesola warned that the APC will use every tool including ? misinformation, media manipulation, and coordinated attacks to distract, discredit, or divide the ADC.

He, however, said the party will remain focused on its mission and will continue engaging Nigerians across the country to shape a better path forward.

He assured party members that the ADC is open to all Nigerians who believe in a future driven by competence, inclusion, and compassion.

?This party is for everyone. We welcome you ? not as enemies of others, but as Nigerians determined to chart a better path forward.? Aregbesola said.

?We know the game ? distractions, smears, provocations. But we will not play it,? he said.

?We are on a mission, and we will stay focused ? building quietly, consistently, and with conviction.?

He reiterated that the ADC?s strategy is rooted in the progressive philosophy that once transformed the Western Region ? a philosophy that delivered even in the worst of times.

?We used those same principles in Osun to navigate the worst economic crisis in Nigeria?s history ? and still delivered measurable progress. This is what Nigeria needs now: grounded, proven, and people-driven.

?We are stepping into a new chapter ? one of responsibility, restoration, and meaningful results. The struggles of the past were not in vain. They?ve prepared us to lead with clarity and conviction. The best of what we have to offer is still ahead.?

Aregbesola while advising ADC members not to be baited into unnecessary conflict or distractions, affirmed that, ?This is our finest hour?. (Daily Trust)
