Former Minister of Interior and ex-Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, on Tuesday delivered a scathing assessment of the All Progressives Congress (APC), scoring the ruling party a total failure in the economy, security, and other critical sectors. He declared that the APC-led federal government has “clearly failed Nigerians” and described the administration as a disappointment to ordinary citizens.
Speaking in Osogbo at the conclusion of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) federal constituency tours of Osogbo/Olorunda/Orolu and Irepodun, Aregbesola, who led party mobilization across the nine federal constituencies in Osun State, urged Nigerians to reject the APC in the 2027 elections.
“Those in government now tried their best, but God is not with them because they didn’t start with God,” Aregbesola said. “They are selfish. They started with the word ‘Emi’ instead of ‘Awa.’ They have been disgraced in all sectors, especially in the economy, security, and governance.”
Aregbesola reiterated that the APC’s “reign will come to an end in the next general election,” insisting the party has failed across all critical sectors. “There is no sector where they have not failed. The economy is in dire straits, insecurity is ravaging the country, and governance has suffered setbacks,” he said.
He positioned the ADC as the only viable alternative. “Our party is poised to liberate the people and make life more abundant for the masses. If elected, we will correct all governance misnomers and set the tone for Osun State and Nigeria to witness mass-oriented development.”
Reacting to Aregbesola’s comments, Osun State APC Director of Media, Kola Olabisi, questioned, “At what point did APC fail?” He added, “He was governor for eight years and minister for four years through the benevolence of this same party he says has failed. He is att@cking himself.”
