  "account": "The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has issued a statement warning a governorship aspirant in Oyo State, Mr. Gbemileke Alagbe, and other aggrieved party members against actions that could disrupt unity within the organization. The party also confirmed Adegboyega Taofeek Adegoke as its official candidate for the 2027 gubernatorial election in Oyo State. Deputy National Financial Secretary of the ADC, Oladimeji Fabiyi, urged Alagbe and other dissatisfied members to support Adegoke to ensure the party's victory in the upcoming election. Fabiyi emphasized that Adegoke was chosen as the candidate after a primary election conducted by the party and recognized by INEC. He highlighted the party's commitment to presenting credible candidates for the upcoming elections, including Oyo State. Regarding the ADC's presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Fabiyi praised his experience in politics and ability to address Nigeria's economic and developmental challenges. He also dismissed rumors about Atiku's credibility, citing his court cases against the third-term agenda and his contribution to Nigeria's economic growth during his tenure as chairman of the Economic Council. Fabiyi criticized President Bola Tinubu's economic reforms, particularly the removal of the petrol subsidy, which he deemed a \"policy somersault.\"",
