Aregbesola shredding his own résumé with every attack on APC – Party spokesman

By John Ogunsemore

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said National Secretary of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rauf Aregbesola is shredding his own résumé with every attack on the ruling party.

Lagos APC spokesman, Seye Oladejo stated this in a Sunday statement.

He was reacting to Aregbesola’s recent assertion that ADC would win the 2027 presidential and Lagos governorship elections.

The party spokesman described Aregbesola’s assertion as an “empty boast”.

Oladejo noted that since Aregbesola became a Lagos commissioner, Osun governor and federal minister under APC, his attack on the ruling party was akin to shredding his own résumé.

He said, “The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has read, with equal parts laughter and pity, the latest boast by Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will ‘take over Aso Rock and Lagos Government House’ in 2027.

“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. That, dear Nigerians, is political suicide of the highest order.

“When Aregbe condemns the 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.”

Oladejo insisted that the ADC would be fooling itself by relying on Aregbesola for victory in 2027.

He said, “If the ADC thinks Aregbesola is the one to lead them 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.”

The party spokesman stated that Lagos and Nigeria cannot be “conquered by soundbites”, emphasising that “our people vote for performance, not fairy tales”.

He maintained that the APC’s record is visible in infrastuctural projects, including roads, schools, hospitals, and reforms.

“ADC, on the other hand, remains a political mirage – loud on boasts, empty on substance.

“The woeful and embarrassing performance of the 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,” Oladejo said.

He added, “Lagosians and Nigerians will once again choose consistency over confusion, credibility over contradictions, and competence over comedy.

“The APC will be rewarded for delivery, while Aregbe and his ADC will be reminded that betrayal is not a political strategy.”
