ADC Governorship Candidate Taofeek Adegoke Distributes Boiled Corn to Supporters in Oyo

In Oyo State, African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship hopeful Taofeek Adegoke was filmed handing out boiled corn to crowds gathered along a road. The video quickly spread on social media, with supporters chanting “Mr Governor” and praising the gesture as a sign of humility, while critics dismissed it as typical campaign theatrics.

The incident has reignited discussion about symbolic roadside outreach in Nigerian elections. At the same time, ADC officials in the South‑West have submitted a petition to party chairman Senator David Mark demanding the removal of interim secretary Rauf Aregbesola over alleged constitutional breaches, highlighting internal party tensions ahead of the 2027 elections.
