Rescue Nigerians, vote out APC in 2027, Lukman charges opposition
A call has gone to opposition parties and other progressives elements in the country to unite and promote a common front capable of dislodging the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.
A former National Vice Chairman, North-West, of the APC, Salihu Mohammed Lukman who made this call said the nation need to be rescued from the hands of the ruling party as Nigerians are having a very tough times with the current government.
He urged opposition parties and other critical stakeholders across the country to mobilise Nigerians towards defeating the APC in 2027.
Lukman, a former Director-General of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, PGF, in a statement on Saturday, said pushing the APC out of power remains the only way to address the avalanche of challenges bedevilling the country.

He said defeating the APC in 2027 is possible if opposition parties and Nigerians unite, just like top politicians united and succeeded in pushing the military back to the barracks.
“Nigerians are groaning over the spate of killings, kidnappings for ransom, food crisis, hike in electricity tariff, and high cost of transportation, goods and services in the country occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy by the APC-led government”, he added
“Patriotic Nigerians and democrats must resume the business of national mobilisation to produce an alternative democratic platform to APC and all the charades of registered political parties. We must summon the courage and believe in the power of possibility”
“Just like we succeeded in pushing the military back to the barracks and defeating the PDP in 2015, it is possible to create a politically viable and truly popular democratically alternative platform that can put the APC in its rightful place and overcome the current extreme right-wing adventurously unplanned leadership of President Asiwaju Tinubu”
“Nigerians must be mobilised to rise above dishonest politicians who only manipulate their way to power and reduce citizens to the status of conquered people. Democracy will be worthless if the result is only to elect civilian overlords”
The former Director General of the Progressives Governors Forum said the APC has abandoned its vision and reduced it to a mere platform for winning elections.
