Lagos State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it has read with laughter and pity, the latest boast by Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola that African Democratic Congress (ADC) will “take over Aso Rock and Lagos Government House” in 2027.
The party in a statement yesterday by its spokesman, Seye Oladejo, said: ‘’Here is a man who was once a proud landlord in the progressive family, now reduced to a wandering tenant in a mushroom opposition party. From Lagos Commissioner to Osun Governor and then Minister, Aregbe ate, dined and thrived on the APC table. Today, in a desperate bid for relevance, he is busy setting fire to the same house that made him. This, dear Nigerians, is political suicide of the highest order.
‘’When Aregbe condemns APC, he is not damaging us – he is shredding his own résumé. Every attack on APC is an attack on the very foundation of his career. It is akin to a man writing his autobiography with an eraser. Nigerians know better than to take such a self-destructive messenger seriously.
‘’If ADC thinks Aregbesola is the one to lead it to electoral glory, then they are preparing for a funeral, not a victory. Putting Aregbe at the front of a charge against APC is a recipe for failure.
‘’Let us be clear: Lagos and Nigeria are not conquered by sound bites. Our people vote for performance, not fairy tales. APC’s record is visible on the roads, in our schools, in our hospitals, and in our reforms. ADC, on the other hand, remains a political mirage – loud on boasts, empty on substance. The woeful and embarrassing performance of ADC in the recent by-elections should give them no cause for hope. They need to first learn to be humble before they inevitably bite the dust in 2027.

‘’In 2027, Lagosians and Nigerians will once again choose consistency over confusion, credibility over contradictions, and competence over comedy. APC will be rewarded for delivery, while Aregbe and his ADC will be reminded that betrayal is not a political strategy.
‘’Ogbeni Aregbesola’s rant is less a threat to APC and more a public obituary of his own political relevance. By turning his back on the progressives family that made him, he has written himself out of history and into the footnotes of infamy.
‘’If ADC insists on betting its future on a man dismantling his own legacy, then the only “takeover” awaiting them in 2027 will be a takeover by ridicule.
‘APC is here to stay. Movements don’t collapse because one man chooses to self-destruct.’’
