Leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Oshodi/Isolo Local Government Area of Lagos State have vowed to deliver the council to the party in the 2027 general elections.
The leaders gave the undertaking at a recent gathering of Oshodi/Isolo ADC members said the party was determined to ensure it defeated the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in the 2027 poll.
The party’s Lagos State leader, Hon. Rahman Owokoniran, said the ADC would challenge the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming general elections.
Owokoniran, a former Commissioner in Lagos State, said they had begun the process of entrenching ADC in Lagos State and said the reception at the gathering of the party members in Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area of Lagos State was impressive.
Owokoniran, who was the South West Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) before moving to the ADC accused the ruling party of failing to deliver democratic dividends to the people.
He said: “This is the beginning of a long journey, and it is going to be a marathon. The quality of representation I have seen here is encouraging, and we are confident we can build a winning team.”
Owokoniran said the security architecture needs total overhauling, saying there was the need for police reform,
Fellow ADC chieftain in the local government, Hon. Adeoye Jolaosho, criticised APC for the country’s current challenges and described the formation of ADC as a unifying alternative.
He said the ruling party embarrassed Nigerians on the shoddy way it has handled the security issue in the country.
On the formation of the ADC, Jolaosho said, “All members have agreed to bury individual ambitions and work together as co-joiners in the party.
“We have strategies in place to ensure that attempts to overturn election results will not succeed in 2027.”
Leader of the ADC in the Oshodi-Isolo, Alhaji Adebisi Jegede, emphasized Nigeria’s urgent need for a new political vehicle.
His words, “The people have made the right political choice by aligning with ADC, a platform driven by unity, equality, and fairness, aimed at fulfilling the founding fathers’ vision where every Nigerian life matters, justice is not selective, and dignity of labour is respected,”
He added that the gathering demonstrated Oshodi/Isolo’s commitment to the ADC and its political success in the upcoming elections.
While addressing the gathering, Chief Godwin Ekezie (Chairman of Chairmen) pledged to work with his team to deliver Oshodi/Isolo to ADC come 2027.
He said they did it in the last general elections in 2023, and pledged that they are prepared to do it again come 2027.
