Salihu Lukman, a former vice-chair of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the north-west, says President Bola Tinubu will be defeated in 2027.
Lukman said this on Wednesday night when he appeared on
Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television – days after the ruling
party said he has a history of “opportunistic politicking”.
Tinubu is yet to indicate interest to seek reelection in
2027.
While appearing on the programme, the former
director-general of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) said the same way
Nigerians were able to get the military out of power, is how they would remove
Tinubu from office.
“I guarantee you and
I am confident… the same way we were able to get the military out of power, we
are going to correct the current mess,” Lukman said.
“We are going to get to a situation where we have a
functional political party, and APC and President Asiwaju will be defeated in
2027, and we will produce leaders that will be servants to citizens, not
leaders that are emperors.”
Lukman said in the build-up to the 2015 elections, APC
promised to curb insecurity, but that has increased.
“The issue of
insecurity at that time was Boko Haram. It didn’t degenerate to banditry like
we are having it today, of course there were cattle rustling in north-west and
north-central, but it didn’t graduate to banditry like this,” he said.
“From 2015 till now, insecurity has taken over north-west,
north-central and is heading south.
“My honest assessment is that things have gotten worse. I
wish security agencies could release statistics of how many people have been
killed or kidnapped.
“In the area of security we have gotten worse.”
The former PGF DG said despite the issues plaguing the
opposition parties, there is a need for them “to come together and respond to
the challenge”.
