The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has read, with equal parts laughter and pity, the latest boast by Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will \u201ctake over Aso Rock and Lagos Government House\u201d in 2027.<\/p>\n
From Landlord to Tenant
\nHere is a man who was once a proud landlord in the progressive family, now reduced to a wandering tenant in a mushroom opposition party. From Lagos Commissioner to Osun Governor and then Minister, Aregbe ate, dined, and thrived on the APC table. Today, in a desperate bid for relevance, he is busy setting fire to the same house that made him. That, dear Nigerians, is political suicide of the highest order.<\/p>\n
A Legacy in Self-Destruct Mode
\nWhen Aregbe condemns the APC, he is not damaging us \u2013 he is shredding his own r\u00e9sum\u00e9. Every attack on APC is an attack on the very foundation of his career. It is akin to a man writing his autobiography with an eraser. Nigerians know better than to take such a self-destructive messenger seriously.<\/p>\n
ADC\u2019s Wrong Arrowhead
\nIf the ADC thinks Aregbesola is the one to lead them to electoral glory, then they are preparing for a funeral, not a victory. Putting Aregbe at the front of a charge against APC is a recipe for failure.<\/p>\n
Fairy Tales Don\u2019t Win Elections
\nLet us be clear: Lagos and Nigeria are not conquered by soundbites. Our people vote for performance, not fairy tales. The APC\u2019s record is visible on the roads, in our schools, in our hospitals, and in our reforms. ADC, on the other hand, remains a political mirage \u2013 loud on boasts, empty on substance. The woeful and embarrassing performance of the ADC in the recent by-elections should give them no cause for hope. They need to first learn to be humble before they inevitably bite the dust in 2027.<\/p>\n
2027: The Reality Check.
\nIn 2027, Lagosians and Nigerians will once again choose consistency over confusion, credibility over contradictions, and competence over comedy. The APC will be rewarded for delivery, while Aregbe and his ADC will be reminded that betrayal is not a political strategy.<\/p>\n
Conclusion
\nOgbeni Aregbesola\u2019s rant is less a threat to APC and more a public obituary of his own political relevance. By turning his back on the progressive family that made him, he has written himself out of history and into the footnotes of infamy.<\/p>\n
If ADC insists on betting its future on a man dismantling his own legacy, then the only \u201ctakeover\u201d awaiting them in 2027 will be a takeover by ridicule.<\/p>\n
APC is here to stay. Movements don\u2019t collapse because one man chooses to self-destruct.<\/p>\n
