John Odigie-Oyegun, who used to lead the All Progressives Congress (APC) nationally, says the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is prepared to remove President Bola Tinubu from power and take control of Aso Rock after the 2027 election.

Oyegun, a former governor of Edo state, made these comments during the ADC’s national convention in Abuja on Tuesday. He expressed sadness that many Nigerians are still struggling even though the country has a lot of natural resources.

“We are the largest black nation on the face of this earth. God designed that for a purpose, but see what we have done to it,” he said.

“And so I am so thrilled when I look at our chairman and I look at the leaders around him, and I say, ‘Thank God we are ready for this struggle, and thank God we are ready to move.

“We are ready to take over Aso Rock, and it is not going to be business as usual. I want everybody to know that because they keep accusing us that John, you were part of them.”

Oyegun, while stressing the readiness of the ADC to assume office, pledged accountability, consequences for misconduct, and decisive action to rescue the nation.

“Look at the Christian faith. When God wanted to plant Christianity, whom did he take? It was Paul, the greatest prosecutor of Christians, who was the person that he chose,” he added.

“So let us go into this fight, let us go into this struggle, not looking at the past but deciding that from the day we come into office, every person’s action must have a consequence. You do well, you are rewarded; you do badly, the whole world must know that you have done badly.

“I want to assure you that we are already en route to the villa, and may God give us the courage to do what is necessary to salvage this long-suffering nation.

Rauf Aregbesola, the national secretary of the ADC, had earlier at the party’s convention described President Bola Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda as a “scam”.

Aregbesola said the promises made by the Tinubu government had yet to materialise nearly three years into its tenure.
