The National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, Rauf Aregbesola, has reaffirmed his commitment to the party, and dismissed insinuations that he has returned to his estwhile party, the All Progressives Congress
The ex-Osun State Governor made this known in Ilesa, Osun State on Sunday at the ADC leadership and stakeholders’ meeting which drew participants from across the 332 wards in the State.
A statement signed by the Osun ADC Publicity Secretary Elect, Oluwaseun Abosede, obtained in Osogbo, said Aregbesola at the meeting also presented the governorship candidate of the party in the Osun August 15 poll, Dr. Najeem Salaam to members.
Aregbesola described claims that he was planning a return to APC “as baseless and laughable,” stressing that since his “exit from the APC over three years ago,” he has had “no reason whatsoever to look back.”
He added, “The APC has completely abandoned the foundational vision and people-oriented ideals upon which governance should stand. The primary essence of government remains WELFARE and SECURITY both of which, have been neglected and thrown into the dustbin.”
He reaffirmed commitment to the ADC, stating that despite numerous attempts by entrenched powers to frustrate the party, it has witnessed steady growth and record significant victories.
He charged ADC members and stakeholders to return to their respective wards and intensify grassroots mobilization efforts in preparation for the task ahead.
He also predicted a victorious outing for the ADC in the 2027 polls and called for more dedication to the party’s course by the members.

Who cares
He can’t return to the party. If he dares it, it will be the beginning of the end of his political career. He will only be a party member
