Excited ADC Loyalists Flock to Lagos Airport to Greet Aregbesola

ADC Loyalists Flood Lagos Airport to Celebrate Aregbesola’s Arrival A wave of excitement swept through the Lagos airport on Friday evening as enthusiastic supporters of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola gathered in large numbers to welcome him back from Abuja following his appointment as the new National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The former Minister of Interior was greeted by jubilant party faithful, many donning vibrant orange caps—an emblem of unity and revived political energy.

According to Dailynewsnigeria, Aregbesola was recently appointed interim National Secretary of the ADC, a growing political coalition determined to redefine Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Reflecting on his appointment, Aregbesola expressed admiration for South Africa’s African National Congress, praising it as a party built on vision and integrity—qualities he believes are sorely lacking in many of Nigeria’s political organizations.

Aregbesola Criticizes Nigeria’s Party Politics, Praises ANC’s Ideals Speaking passionately about the state of political ideology in Nigeria, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola drew a sharp contrast between South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC) and most Nigerian political parties.

“The ANC may not be flawless, but it represents something greater than itself,” he said. “Born out of struggle, shaped by purpose, and led by individuals committed to justice, equality, dignity, and inclusive governance, it possesses both identity and integrity.”

In contrast, Aregbesola lamented the ideological void within Nigeria’s political parties. “Unfortunately, many of our parties today are ideologically hollow. They don’t fracture over values or vision—but over personal ambition and power struggles,” he remarked.
