The National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, on Saturday, accused the ruling All Progressives Congress of being intolerant of opposition voices and using state power to silence dissent.

Aregbesola spoke at the unveiling of the ADC Secretariat in Ilorin, Kwara State, noting that APC had failed Nigerians through greed and incompetence, which, according to him, had plunged the country into hunger, insecurity, and infrastructural collapse.

“Under the current administration, hunger has taken over the land. Governance has been reduced to personal enrichment and political intimidation. Nigerians are suffering because of the failure of leadership at all levels under the APC,” he said.

He alleged that the ruling party had become oppressive towards opposition figures, describing its conduct as undemocratic.

“If the APC is confident of its strength, it would not be hounding and haunting opposition members everywhere,” Aregbesola added.

The former two-term governor of Osun State described the ADC as a “party of conscience and service,” saying it represented the only credible alternative for Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“The hatred of Nigerians for the ruling party is obvious, and the party that will harvest that unpopularity is the ADC,” he declared.
