Says APC, LP, PDP have failed Nigerians
The National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Monday stormed Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos to launch the mass membership drive into the new coalition movement with a call on Nigerians to vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) come 2027.
This is coming just as the former Minister of The Interior also flayed other major political parties such as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party, saying they have failed the country in the past that the ADC is promising Nigerians new deal.
According to the statement from the party signed by the Kosofe Local Government Area Influencer of the party, Hon. Funmi Onita-Coker made available to newsmen in Lagos on Wednesday; the event took place on Monday 11th, August 2025.
In the statement quoted the former minister as urging those present to commence mass membership drive into the party with a promise to ensure that all necessary incentives would be provided for them to succeed.
“I am urging you to go out and spread the gospel of the ADC to all Nigerians, particularly those living in your local government areas. Tell them that a new vista of hope and opportunity now await them in our party as we promise a new deal that would see to it that our dear country, Nigeria is reset to the path of development and progress,” he said.
Rauf Aregbesola’s speech was laden intermittently with motivating and inspiring songs clearly expressed his surprise to see large number of people on a day like Monday including willingness to wait patiently despite unforeseen initial delay to commence the assembly at initial scheduled time.
He spoke extensively on failure of most political parties like APC PDP LP and their likes to offer democratic platform that would ensure good governance that brings change that Nigeria and Nigerians are yearning for.
“I want you all to sensitizing Nigerians on the need to join ADC and use the ADC platform to remove failed APC government. Having said that, I am also urging you as well as all other categories of Nigerians to vote and protect their votes by follow up vigilance. I am also calling on to make conscious efforts to register as voters in this INEC continuous Voter registration.
“That everybody for now should concentrate on mass mobilisation that party membership cards will be available soon.
On hand to witness the event as the state’s Leader was a former Commissioner for Housing and the Lagos State Influencer, Hon. Rahman Owokoniran and the state Chairman of the party, Mr. George Ashiru, amongst scores of other chieftains.
In his welcome address, Hon. Fúnmi Oníta-Coker who thanked those present for their sacrifice of time and patience also gave the reason for the assembly especially the importance of mass mobilisation of members.
