Ahead of the 2027 general election, Salihu Lukman, the immediate past national vice chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has called on Atiku Abubakar, former governors Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and Rotimi Amaechi to form an alliance to defeat the ruling party.
Lukman made this call in a statement made available to TimesNow.com.ng on Sunday, July 7, in Abuja.
The APC chieftain also listed in the proposed merger, former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, former governors Nasir El-Rufai, Rauf Aregbesola, Kayode Fayemi and Ibikunle Amosun, among other political leaders.
Lukman in the statement, said building the kind of united front capable of moving Nigerian democracy forward require selflessness on the part of top Nigerian political leaders.
While lamenting the current situation of the country under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government, Lukman noted that the ruling party in Nigeria has failed to fulfill its promise made to Nigerians.
Speaking further, he noted that Tinubu promised to provide the needed leadership to fight corruption but the APC government under his watch has legitimised higher level of corruption in the country.
Buttressing his point, Lukman added that the ruling party led by Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has legitimised the phenomenon of âstate captureâ virtually at all levels.
Advising Atiku, Obi, Kwankwaso and others on what to do, Lukman said:
TimesNow.com.ng reported earlier that APC chieftain, Salihu Lukman, made a strong revelation about the chances of the APC in the 2027 election.
Lukman disclosed that President Bola Tinubu was at risk of losing re-election in the 2027 poll.
Speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday, December 13, he dropped the hint of an impending rebellion among the ranks of the party in no distant time from now.
