African Democratic Congress (ADC) leaders David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola hold a mega rally in Ado Ekiti ahead of Saturday’s Ekiti State governorship election. Speaking to supporters, the ADC leadership criticizes the All Progressives Congress (APC) government’s performance in the state over the past three and a half years. Mark urges voters to back the ADC governorship candidate, Ambassador Dare Bejide, arguing that the party offers a credible alternative capable of improving conditions in Ekiti.
Aregbesola dismisses claims that the ADC lacks the strength to challenge APC, and predicts the opposition will win, pointing to the APC’s record at other levels of government. He warns that APC’s continued stay in power would depend on manipulation and says ADC would win if the election process remains free and fair. The sources also report that the rally includes calls for broad voter participation, including urging women to turn out and ensure their votes count.
