Chief John Odigie Oyegun, former Edo State Governor and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has apologised to Nigerians for helping the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Tinubu to power in the 2023 general election. Oyegun, a former National Chairman of the APC between 2015 and 2019 who defected to the ADC in 2026, said Nigerians were paying for what he described as the "mistake" of voting for Tinubu and the APC in 2023. He said the forthcoming 2027 general election had given Nigerians an opportunity to correct the mistake and accelerate the nation's development. Oyegun made the remark in Benin City when the party received its vice-presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, during a town hall meeting, where he called for the rescue of the nation by presenting former Vice President Atiku and Amaechi.
