“Why Tinubu Will Be Hard to Defeat in 2027,” Prominent Ex-APC Chieftain Lukman Explains

• Former APC chieftain, Mallam Salihu Lukman, has called for a strong opposition that will wrestle power with the ruling APC and defeat President Tinubu in 2027
• He also pointed out the challenges opposition parties might possibly face in regaining the trust of Nigerians, who are already tired of the APC's unfulfilled promises since 2015
• Lukman stresses that the campaign to "rescue Nigeria" must focus on a clear, actionable vision rather than solely aiming to defeat the APC in the 2027 general election

Lukman push for stronger opposition to challenge Tinubu

In a statement issued on Monday, October 7, Lukman admitted that the feat will not be easy to achieve because Nigerians will find it difficult to trust any politician who makes similar promises of a better future for them after the APC, which promised change before 2015 but ended up producing the current disappointment.

As reported by Leadership on Tuesday, October 8, he said the campaign to rescue Nigeria must not be founded on the cheap sentiment of defeating the APC and President Tinubu in 2027 but on a clearly well-thought-out vision of moving the country forward.

The former APC chieftain argues that only a strong, trustworthy opposition can defeat President Tinubu, highlighting the need for reform in Nigerian politics.

Speaking further, Lukman emphasizes that the campaign to rescue Nigeria must focus on a clear vision rather than merely opposing the APC.

Lukman said once that was the focus, the country will end up with a new opposition party that is weak and unable to be different from APC, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) and all the current parties.
