National secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rauf Aregbesola, has intensified the party’s membership drive in Lagos State. He said the move is to position to rescue Nigeria from the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) ‘s painful policies and governance in the upcoming 2027 elections.
Aregbesola spoke at ADC stakeholders meeting in Lagos. He accused the APC, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP) of lacking the vision to address the country’s needs.

He said the ADC offers Nigerians a new deal to revitalise the nation.
Aregbesola encouraged attendees to participate actively in the ADC’s mass membership drive and promised to support their success.
He said, “I urge you to go out and spread the message of the ADC to all Nigerians, especially those in your local government areas.
“Inform them that a new era of hope and opportunity awaits them in our party, as we promise to set Nigeria back on the path of development and progress,” he stated.
Present at the event were notable politicians such as former Commissioner for Housing and Lagos State Influencer, Hon. Rahman Owokoniran, and the state Chairman of the party, George Ashiru, among many other party leaders.
In his welcome address, the Kosofe Local Government Area Influencer of the ADC, Hon. Funmi Onita-Coker, thanked attendees for their time and patience and explained the assembly’s purpose, emphasising the importance of mobilising new members.
Ashiru also acknowledged the growing number of new members wanting to join the ADC and promised to provide honest and transparent leadership that guarantees equal opportunities for all new and existing members.
