FCT, Abuja - A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), John Odigie-Oyegun, shouted “APC” before catching himself, mid-sentence, during the party’s national convention in Abuja.
The former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) corrected himself by shouting ADC on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.
After the slip of the tongue, Oyegun said, “No, no, did I just say APC?”
A former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, interjected, saying, “Baba, you need to seek refuge from the devil.”
The former Edo state governor replied that he would require a strong “purgative” to flush out the lingering APC reflex from his system.
The slip triggered laughter from delegates while Oyegun played along with the light-hearted moment.
Oyegun said the ADC is ready to oust President Bola Tinubu and take over Aso Rock from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s APC after the 2027 general election.
Speaking during the ADC convention, he said:
“We are ready to take over Aso Rock, and it is not going to be business as usual. I want everybody to know that because they keep accusing us that John, you were part of them.”

@OgbeniOwa
This is a former national chairman of the APC. Only God knows exactly what happened between Tinubu and these individuals, but one thing I know is that this ADC is not to the benefit of anybody. It's the same old, same old politician, full of it.
@officialTifiola

@Beyondlimit2020

ADC expels Nafiu Bala, Leke Abejide, others
Recall that David Mark's African Democratic Congress (ADC) faction expelled Nafiu Bala, Hon Leke Abejide, and others over alleged anti-party activities.
The expulsion of Gombe, Abejide, and others occurred during the party's national convention held on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.
The ADC's internal conflict highlights the ongoing struggles within Nigeria's political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Air conditioners fail to work at ADC convention
