Salihu Lukman a former national vice president of the All-Progressives Congress, has called on all opposition parties in Nigeria to unity and throw out President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
He said in a statement that the APC under former President Muhammadu Buhari and now President Tinubu has brought Nigeria down on her knees and so all Nigerians need to work towards returning the country to right path by electing new political leaders with vision and ambition to turn the fortunes of the country around.
“At this point, it is important to appeal to our key opposition leaders to wake up and try to be compassionate and appreciate the gravity of the dire situation facing citizens.
“The big question is whether, on account of personal ambitions, we want to continue to mismanage our reality and sacrifice every opportunity, which ideally a democratic system offers.
“The opportunity that the democratic system offers is that any government, which fails its citizens should be voted out. No doubt, by any standard, both President Tinubu and APC have failed Nigerians. It is quite disheartening that a party, which came with all the promises of changing Nigeria for the better has ended up ruining the country.
“From the economy to problems of insecurity and corruption, which were the three cardinal challenges APC and former President Muhammadu Buhari promised to tackle in 2015, what we had in 2015 is a child’s play today.
“The hard truth is that both former President Buhari and President Tinubu have turned out to be self-centred and unable to produce the needed leadership to pull the country out of its current challenges.
“Certainly, all of us who were actively in support of these leaders never imagined that they would be such colossal failures,” Lukman said in the statement.
