• Aregbesola: Nigerians determined to vote out incompetent government
• Traditional ruler, party chieftains rally support for ADC ahead of 2026 polls


–

Thousands of residents turned out in Osogbo on Tuesday as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Osun State brought its federal constituency tour to a close, signalling strong grassroots backing for the party ahead of the 2026 general elections.

The tour, led by former Osun State Governor and current ADC National Secretary, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, ended with a mammoth rally at the Technical College ground after a courtesy visit to the palace of the Ataoja of Osogboland, Oba Jimoh Oyetunji Olanipekun (Larooye II).

Artisans, market women, youths, students and party faithful thronged the routes from the palace through major streets to the rally venue, where supporters had waited for hours under the sun to welcome the ADC delegation.

Speaking at the rally, Aregbesola thanked residents for their continued loyalty and declared that Nigerians had resolved to vote out the present administration at all levels over widespread insecurity, economic hardship, poverty and poor governance.

“There is no sector where the current government has not failed. The economy is in dire straits and insecurity is ravaging the country,” Aregbesola said.

He positioned the ADC as the only viable alternative, pledging that the party would deliver “a government of vision, mission and direction” focused on mass-oriented development if elected.

Aregbesola urged supporters to intensify mobilisation and encourage eligible voters to participate in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.

Earlier at the Ataoja’s palace, Oba Olanipekun openly endorsed Aregbesola’s political cause and pledged the support of Osogbo people for the ADC in 2026.

Recalling the transformation of Osogbo into a modern state capital during Aregbesola’s tenure from 2010 to 2018, the monarch said: “We are not ingrates in Osogbo. I will never leave Aregbesola; I will always support him and all he represents.”

The royal father described Aregbesola’s current mission as one aimed at the overall betterment of Osun people.

Other party chieftains who addressed the rally, including Dr Charles Omidiji, Alhaji Azeez Adesiji, Senator Felix Ogunwale, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti and former Speaker Dr Najeem Salaam, charged members to redouble grassroots engagement, describing the ADC as the only party with the moral clarity and capacity to rescue Osun and Nigeria from the current decline.

Also present were Engr. Jide Adeniji, Alhaji Rasaq Salinsile, Revd. Adelowo Adebiyi, Senator Adelere Oriolowo, Mr Jide Bewaji and other leaders of the political tendency.

The Osogbo rally marked the final leg of the ADC’s tour across the state’s three federal constituencies, which party sources say recorded overwhelming turnout and enthusiasm in every local government visited.

This massive turnout in Osogbo is a clear sign that Nigerians are fed up! Hunger is tearing through our communities, with families struggling to afford even one meal a day under Tinubu’s watch. he’s completely out of touch with the reality on the ground. It’s time to rise above ethnic and religious divides and unite behind the ADC for real change. Insecurity must be front and center in 2027 votes; let’s make informed choices. Kudos to Aregbesola for leading the charge in the Southwest. he knows Tinubu inside out from their past alliance and is the key to defeating him.

Impressive rally! But let’s face it, hunger is ravaging Nigeria like never before. markets empty, prices skyrocketing, and Tinubu jets around oblivious to the suffering. We can’t let parochial sentiments blind us anymore; embrace the ADC as the party of the people.
Aregbesola is doing phenomenal work mobilizing the Southwest for ADC.

Aregbesola is a force in the Southwest, building ADC from the ground up. His deep knowledge of Tinubu from their shared history positions him perfectly to lead the defeat in 2027. Hunger is devastating our nation. kids going to bed empty, all while President Tinubu lives in denial.

This event screams hope! Yet, hunger grips Nigeria tightly, with poverty exploding while Tinubu seems detached from the chaos he’s unleashed.

We need to transcend ethnic, religious, and parochial barriers to support ADC as the alternative. Suffer no Dey tire una? Sigh. Nice one Aregbe.

What a powerful show of support in Osogbo! Hunger isn’t just a word, it’s the daily nightmare for millions, thanks to a president who’s lost touch with everyday Nigerians. Aregbesola’s grassroots efforts in the Southwest are unmatched. he’s championing ADC brilliantly.

Huge respect for this rally. Hunger is sweeping Nigeria, exacerbating poverty under a president who’s lost grip on reality.
Insecurity is non-negotiable in 2027. make decisions based on truth. Aregbesola is masterfully championing ADC in the Southwest. Make Obi and others too do well for their side.

You forgot to add the worsening security situation of the country

What an epic conclusion to the tour. Naija, make una shine una eyes oo. If Una like, make una mumu go still vote APC. Better wise up.

Inspiring turnout. But reality check: Hunger is rampant in Nigeria, fueled by policies from a leader out of sync with the people’s pain. Time to elevate beyond ethnic and religious lines and adopt ADC as our unifying force.

I pity Adeleke. Aregbesola will do him detty 😂 😂

Same template, gather people, stand on a podium, sing, dance, scatter a few crumbs and make wild promises. This is where it starts and ends.

Ask the people who gathered 24 hours later exactly what they have accomplished.....nothing.

No clear path way to solve their festering issues, no concrete plans, programmes or calendars.....because they never asked for anything, there was no real engagement. All it was was a musical tour. A one way street.

What has the ADC taken to this people as solid proposals to make their lives better than where they are right now. Issues that can be dated, stamped, sealed and delivered. Real issues.

no wahala , aregbesola na household name when it comes to osun politics.Not because of any hunger abi hunger no dey kaduna wey Dem be do election of recent.
It may be a good outing for aregbesola Sha unlike the poor outing of el Rufai in kaduna in the election.
The reason even hungry Nigerians aren't bothered anymore is just the fact those that want power by all means were there before and they didn't really do anything to help the masses.that is the singular reason APC still coming out victorious in most election .

Who are those people in the ADC?


Dey play

Social media propaganda doesn't win election. Aregbesola will not deliver a single polling unit to ADC, he was a disgrace as governor

I thought I was the only one observing them. These guys seems to think people are programmed robot that you'll just pass a message to and accept it without thinking. This Aregbesola that suddenly turned your messiah has once been your oppressor who was paying the osun state workers half salary claiming there's a price to pay for osun development. So many workers lost their lives through this, the same hunger he's using as campaign point against this current administration was what killed his governance too. Already, we know politicians are shamelessly but you supporting them without reflecting on their antecedents in relation to what they're campaigning against today makes me wonder if people truly want the country to be better or they're fighting for their pocket.

One thing I know is that irrespective of the party they belong,most politicians except few in this country can't survive without being in power once once they realise that, they're ready to do anything to remain there. I only pity the use and dump people.

They are Politicians footsoldiers and just ask them a question ⁉️,
What Can Aregbesola points to as his Achievements in OSUN State- for 8- yr?
Is it Opon- Imo' - where he failed Woefully to impact on Education of the State?
Or,the One - Man Uniform - for ALL THE SCHOOLS CHILDREN - According to his Islamic Faith' that he wants to Imposed - but was Turned Down by the people?
Or That He Could Not Pay the Pensions Of The Workers - in the States, before Governor Adeleke-Came On Boerd?
Or
•Why are the LP and PDP Sympathetisers- are so much busy with Oshogbo -Politics, instead of their own faulty Regions - which they hardly see that Nothing Is Going On ,anyway?
Confused 😕 People - they have Data for -Spent Politicians, 'Most of them Former ' Now Called ADC-but No Single Economic Development- when they Were In Govts!
Very Shameful indeed.
e go choke well,as I told you before - we are already in 2026- Elections Champaign year, Nothing For the Masses!
Radarada People Everywhere!

Come 2027, they will vote APC and turn around to blame INEC

Aregbesola is a force in the Southwest, building ADC from the ground up. His deep knowledge of Tinubu from their shared history positions him perfectly to lead the defeat in 2027. Hunger is devastating our nation. kids going to bed empty, all while President Tinubu lives in denial.[/quote]I believe you not from southwest because. ..over and over after Aregbesola step down as the governor of Osun State , He has presented so many candidates in Osun State under different Political parties and those Governorship Candidates he presented fails....just like ObI peter In Anambra State who can not deliver his ward in Agulu to a Labour Party candidates in the last election so also Aregbesola. ...I can bet with you , His Governorship candidates will still fail....Adeleke will be re-elected in Osun State . .

Aregbesola was just an ordinary lawyer in Lagos State , when Jagaban pick him up to be his commissioner for Works and Housing. ..there are evidently video and documentation to this assertions. ...He is a traitor. A traitor is always a disgrace. And he soon be disgrace because Neither Atiku or Obi Peter believe in him as a Traitor. .the same Ministry of Interior which he headed for 4 years that he wasn't able to perform nothing....his successor has turned the same Ministry of Interior to something of pride for the country....

No mind them. Look from behind and the left.
You will see that Few people gather to what is expected. If truly people want ADC the numbers are suppose to be massive AV using stadium.

Na those who want collect money from aregbesola dey there

Lastly check all those saying massive are eastonia people wey get hatredmania syndrome,but just want to be in power without tangible thing.

Maximum this guy can get in osun is 3 state lawmakers and 1 house of representatives. Someone should quote me after the elections. Same people doing this road show will still collect money from apcpdp during the elections and go for the highest bidder. ADC can't match their money with these looters. If you think people will vote for performance and conscience in this country, you are a joker.
