Rauf Aregbesola, the National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), announced the party's ambitious plan to register at least 14 million members nationwide. This initiative is part of the ADC's broader strategy to establish itself as a significant political player in Nigeria. The announcement was made during a stakeholders' meeting held in Ibadan, Oyo State, where Aregbesola emphasized the urgency of responding to widespread dissatisfaction with the current political climate.

Aregbesola highlighted that the party is actively engaging in a membership mobilization campaign designed to attract Nigerians who are disillusioned with the existing political order. His statement underscored the importance of recruiting individuals who are not only committed to the party’s vision of genuine progress but also possess integrity and credibility. This focus aims to ensure that the ADC builds a strong foundation with dependable members who can contribute positively to the party's goals.

The ADC's long-term membership target is ambitious yet seen as achievable through diligent grassroots efforts. Aregbesola stressed the need for coordinated mobilization strategies to reach these membership goals, indicating the party's commitment to fostering a genuine political alternative for Nigerians. This move could potentially reshape the political landscape by providing a viable option for those disenchanted with the traditional parties, thereby having significant implications for the upcoming elections in 2027.
