South-West ADC Leaders Seek Aregbesola’s Removal Over Alleged Party Crisis

South-West ADC Leaders Seek Aregbesola’s Removal Over Alleged Party Crisis — 1 of 3
1 / 3

South-West leaders of the African Democratic Congress have called for the removal of Rauf Aregbesola as the party’s Interim National Secretary, accusing him of actions they say are destabilising the party ahead of the 2027 elections. In a petition dated 28 July 2026, the leaders alleged that Aregbesola created a parallel political structure, Omoluabi Progressives, and presented its members as ADC executives across the region. They also accused him of interfering with candidate selection and setting up parallel primary-election committees in several South-West states. The petition further alleged irregular changes to candidates submitted for National Assembly elections. The leaders asked the ADC national leadership to review Aregbesola’s appointment and replace him with a competent and loyal party member. These are allegations by the petitioners and have not been independently established in the post.

What specific actions do the South-West leaders believe are destabilising the ADC, and has the party responded to the petition?

Is there any clear public evidence linking Aregbesola directly to the alleged crisis?

Calling for removal this close to preparations for 2027 suggests the party's internal disagreements are becoming harder to contain.

An allegation of crisis should not automatically settle the matter; the petition's claims still need a clear response from all sides.

ADC leaders should state the disputed issues plainly and follow their party procedures, so members can judge the situation before 2027.
