The National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rauf Aregbesola, has stated that Nigerians’ growing resentment toward the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is unmistakable — and that the ADC stands ready to benefit from the ruling party’s failures.

Gossip News Now reports that Aregbesola made the remark on Saturday during the unveiling of the ADC Secretariat in Ilorin, Kwara State.

According to the former Minister of Interior, the APC has plunged Nigeria into economic hardship, insecurity, and infrastructural decay due to greed and poor governance.

“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 failed leadership at all levels under the APC,” Aregbesola said.

He added that the APC has grown increasingly intolerant of dissent and fearful of opposition figures.

“If the APC is truly confident in its strength, it would not be hounding and haunting opposition members everywhere. The hatred of Nigerians for the ruling party is obvious, and the ADC will harvest that unpopularity,” he declared.

Also speaking at the event, former Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed described the opening of the ADC Secretariat as a new chapter in the state’s political landscape.

“This marks the beginning of a new political direction. The ADC is ready to build a platform that truly reflects the aspirations of Kwarans,” Ahmed stated.

On his part, the ADC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, said the ADC now represents the only credible opposition to the APC, lamenting that insecurity has crippled farming and rural life across Kwara communities.

He said, “The question is no longer whether Kwarans want the APC — that question has been answered. They don’t. The real task now is convincing them that the ADC is the only viable alternative, and that’s exactly what we’ll do ahead of the coming elections.”
