The move has sparked criticism from the All Progressives Congress (APC), particularly from Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In a recent tweet, Onanuga suggested that Aregbesola owed his rise to the governorship to President Tinubu—a comment widely seen as a reaction to Aregbesola’s defection.

Sources reveal the APC had been courting Aregbesola before his surprise decision to align with the ADC, a move some within the ruling party have labeled a betrayal. His defection signals growing political rifts ahead of future elections, with observers closely watching how his presence may reshape the opposition landscape.
