ADC Struggles to Gain Traction in South-West Nigeria Amid Political Shifts

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is facing challenges in gaining a strong foothold in the South-West region of Nigeria, despite efforts to establish itself as a formidable political force. The party, led by President Bola Tinubu, appointed former governor Rauf Aregbesola as the national secretary to strengthen its position.

However, Aregbesola's attempts to rally support have been met with resistance, as many are hesitant to leave the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Despite some defections, including Lagos State's Labour Party 2023 governorship candidate Gbadebo, the ADC is struggling to attract significant political figures.

This development highlights the ongoing political dynamics and power struggles within the region ahead of the 2023 and 2027 general elections.
