ADC Chieftain Oyegun's APC Slip Sparks Laughter at Convention

During a convention of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Abuja, John Odigi Oyegun, a prominent chieftain of the party, inadvertently shouted "APC" while addressing party members. This slip of the tongue elicited laughter from the delegates present.

Recognizing his mistake, Oyegun promptly corrected himself, stating "no, no, just said APC," which further amused the audience. The moment was briefly interrupted by Dino Melaye, a former senator from Kogi West, who jokingly suggested that Oyegun might need to seek refuge from the "devil," adding to the light-hearted atmosphere.

Despite the comic relief, Oyegun quickly returned to the substance of his speech, emphasizing the ADC's readiness to contend seriously for power at the federal level in the upcoming 2027 general elections. He asserted the party's commitment to distancing itself from past political affiliations and maintaining a strong stance against accusations.

The incident gained attention online, with mixed reactions from Nigerians, some viewing it as a harmless mistake while others saw it as reflective of deeper issues within political affiliations.
