From Power To Pauper? APC Mocks Aregbesola, Calls Him A ‘Wandering Tenant’ Over Bold Aso Rock, Lagos Claims

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has slammed the National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rauf Aregbesola, over his claim that the opposition coalition will take over both Aso Rock and Lagos State in 2027.

Aregbesola, a former Lagos commissioner, two-term Osun State governor, and ex-Minister of Interior under the APC, boasted on Saturday that the ADC would unseat President Bola Tinubu in the next general elections. He made the statement while unveiling a grassroots mobilisation strategy to capture power at the federal and state levels.

In a sharp response, Lagos APC spokesperson Seye Oladejo ridiculed Aregbesola, describing him as a “wandering tenant” in a “mushroom opposition party” who is desperately seeking relevance.

“Here is a man who was once a proud landlord in the progressive family, now reduced to a wandering tenant. From Lagos Commissioner to Osun Governor and then Minister, Aregbe ate, dined, and thrived on the APC table. Today, in desperation, he sets fire to the same house that built him. That is political suicide of the highest order,” Oladejo said.

The APC further argued that making Aregbesola the face of any opposition movement is a sure path to failure, declaring that his outbursts are less of a threat to the ruling party and more of a self-inflicted obituary of his own political relevance.

“If ADC insists on banking its future on a man dismantling his own legacy, then what awaits them in 2027 is not a takeover of Aso Rock or Lagos, but a takeover by ridicule,” the statement concluded.
