The Digest:
Former APC national chairman John Odigie-Oyegun had a slip of the tongue while speaking at the African Democratic Congress (ADC) national convention in Abuja, shouting "APC" before correcting himself to "ADC." After the gaffe, he asked: "No, no, did I just say APC?" Dino Melaye interjected: "Baba, you need to seek refuge from the devil." Oyegun joked he would need a strong "purgative" to flush out the lingering APC reflex.
Key Points:
- The slip triggered laughter from delegates at the convention.
- A video of the moment has amassed nearly 100,000 views on social media.
- Oyegun defected to ADC in 2025 after serving as APC national chairman from 2014 to 2018.
- He has since chaired key ADC committees, including the manifesto drafting team.
- Earlier, he declared ADC is ready to "take over Aso Rock" in 2027.
