2027: Use Your Frustrations To Vote Against APC – Aregbesola Tells Nigerians

The national Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rauf Aregbesola, has urged Nigerians to channel their frustrations over the country’s challenges into voting out the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.

Aregbesola, a former minister of interior, asked Nigerians to endure their grievances until January 16, 2027, when he said they should use their votes to remove the APC from power.

He, however, cautioned party supporters against resorting to violence or engaging in activities capable of disrupting public peace, urging them to focus on mobilising voters ahead of the election.

The former Osun State governor spoke on Saturday at the ADC campaign rally held at the Tafawa Balewa Stadium in Bauchi, where he represented the party’s National Chairman, Senator David Mark.

Delivering Mark’s message to the crowd, Aregbesola said Nigerians should preserve their anger and frustrations until election day and express them through the ballot.

“I bring greetings from the National Chairman. The National Chairman must tell you that you must not be provoked, fight or engage in any violence, or any act that will destroy the peace of our environment.

“However, preserve all your pains, preserve and endure all your frustrations until the 16th of January, 2027,” he said.

Aregbesola further disclosed that Mark had directed ADC supporters to mobilise massively at their respective polling units and vote for the party.

“On the 16th of January, 2027, the National Chairman said I should tell you that you must massively mobilise for the polling units in your precincts and use your frustrations to vote out APC and vote in ADC,” he added.

He also urged voters to remain at their polling units after casting their ballots until the votes were counted and the results officially announced and recorded.

“When you vote, the National Chairman said I should tell you, you must not leave the polling unit. You must stay at the polling unit until the election is concluded, votes are separated and counted, and the results are announced and recorded,” Aregbesola said.

The ADC national secretary urged party members to ensure that election results were accompanied from polling units to ward collation centres, while others should monitor the process at local government and state collation centres.

He said the arrangement was necessary to ensure that the party’s votes were protected throughout the collation process.

Speaking on the country’s future, Aregbesola said Nigeria needed a new direction, insisting that the ADC was prepared to drive the desired transformation.

“Indeed, Nigeria needs deliverance, Nigeria needs resetting, Nigeria needs a rebirth. And together, we are going to bring back transformation and change to Nigeria, Insha Allah,” he said.

Politics Nigeria reports that at the rally, Aregbesola also represented Mark in presenting the ADC flag to the party’s Bauchi State governorship candidate, Haliru Jika, whom he described as the person expected to occupy the Government House on May 29, 2027.

Other prominent party’s members at the rally were ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his running mate, Rotimi Amaechi. Atiku restated his commitment to return fuel and electricity subsidies if elected president.
