According to Daily Post, Salihu Lukman, former Vice President of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the North West region, has made a startling prediction that Nigerians will reject the party and its candidates, including President Bola Tinubu, in the 2027 general elections. Lukman attributed this to the government's disappointing performance and the party's failure to address critical issues and promote unity.
In an interview, Lukman stated that Nigerians have lost faith in the APC due to its leadership's inability to address pressing concerns. He emphasized that unless the party makes a concerted effort to rebuild public trust and promote accountable leadership, its chances in the 2027 elections will be slim. Lukman's remarks suggest a growing discontent within the party and a recognition of the need for meaningful change to restore public trust.
Lukman also expressed concerns about the integrity of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during the 2023 elections, stating that it failed to meet expectations. His comments highlight the need for electoral reform and accountability within the party. With the 2027 elections approaching, Lukman's prediction has sparked concerns about the APC's future and the need for drastic changes to regain public trust.
