Aregbesola Sells Out Yorùbá Again? Court Blocks Ex-Osun Governor’s Desperate Grab for ADC Power

The Federal High Court has dealt a heavy blow to former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola, restraining him, alongside former Senate President David Mark and others, from parading themselves as national executive members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

But beyond the courtroom drama, Yoruba land is boiling with anger. To many, Aregbesola’s brazen attempt to hijack the ADC is yet another act of betrayal and proof that he is willing to trade Yorùbá unity for personal ambition.

“This is not the first time Aregbesola has turned his back on Yoruba interest,” a prominent socio-political analyst warned. “By aligning with those who have no stake in Yoruba destiny, he shows again that he is prepared to weaken our collective strength for his own survival. Yoruba land must remain vigilant.”

The ADC leadership, jubilant over the ruling, called it a “clear warning to impostors” and vowed to rebuild the party free of interference. Yet for Yorùbá people, the judgment goes far deeper. It is not just about ADC politics, it is about loyalty, betrayal, and the fight to protect the integrity of the South West.

For many, the verdict is both a victory and a wake-up call. Not every son of the soil works for the soil. Some are ready to sell Yoruba land short for crumbs of political power.
