Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun, has expressed confidence in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to win the 2027 general election.
Oyegun made the assertion while addressing delegates at the party’s national convention in Abuja.
He vowed that the 2027 election would not be business as usual, adding that the party would take over Aso Rock.
“We are ready to take over Aso Rock, and it is not going to be business as usual.
“I want everybody to know that because they keep accusing us that John, you were part of them,” Oyegun said.
The former Edo State governor lamented the paradox of Nigeria’s vast natural endowments and the persistent hardship faced by citizens.
He described the situation as a failure of leadership over the years.
“We are the largest black nation on the face of this earth. God designed that for a purpose, but see what we have done to it,” he said.
He added that the ADC leadership inspires renewed hope for change, stressing that the party is ready to embark on what he described as a national rescue mission.
“And so I am so thrilled when I look at our chairman and I look at the leaders around him, and I say, ‘Thank God we are ready for this struggle, and thank God we are ready to move,’” he stated.
Reiterating the party’s readiness to govern, Oyegun pledged that an ADC-led administration would prioritise accountability and enforce consequences for misconduct in public office.
“So let us go into this fight, let us go into this struggle, not looking at the past but deciding that from the day we come into office, every person’s action must have a consequence.
“You do well, you are rewarded; you do badly, the whole world must know that you have done badly”, he said.
