The African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Thursday formally unveiled its revalidation exercise in the Irewole/Ayedade/Isokan Federal Constituency, marking what party leaders described as a renewed push for political restructuring and grassroots engagement.
Former Osun State Governor and immediate past Minister of Interior, *Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola**, who led the tour to Ikire, used the occasion to voice strong concerns about the current state of governance in Nigeria.
According to him, the feelings and aspirations of ordinary Nigerians no longer carry weight at the federal level, a situation he described as troubling for national unity and democratic accountability.
> *“What Nigerians feel does not matter to the presidency anymore,”* Aregbesola declared, stressing what he said was a widening disconnect between leaders and the electorate. He lamented that many in government appear detached from the daily realities faced by citizens.
Aregbesola, who was warmly received by constituents and party loyalists, expressed gratitude to the ADC leadership for what he called their “unwavering trust and confidence” in his political direction.
He also commended the party for choosing his ward as the starting point of the new membership revalidation process.
He further acknowledged Hon. Kameel, who leads the national membership registration team to Osun State, praising his commitment and efforts toward strengthening the party’s organizational structure.
Addressing new and returning party members, Aregbesola delivered a message of discipline and purpose. He urged them to embrace the values of self-control, courage, and determination, noting that these principles are essential for personal development and the collective progress of the party.
The ADC’s revalidation exercise is expected to boost local mobilisation and reinvigorate the party’s momentum as it positions itself to advance progressive policies and deepen democratic participation across the state.
