Salihu Lukman, a former National Vice Chairman (North-West) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has stated that just as the military was removed from power over 25 years ago, Nigerians will vote out President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Speaking on Channels Television’s “Politics Today” program on Wednesday, Lukman argued that the security situation and the economy in Nigeria have deteriorated over the past 15 months under Tinubu’s administration.
He further criticized the APC, claiming that the party has failed Nigerians and does not deserve re-election in the 2027 general elections.

Lukman also accused the ruling party of producing “emperors” as governors at the state level.
Lukman said, “This country cannot continue like this. What I know is that something will have to give. Whether that act of giving will produce something that will correct all the mess around is what I am pushing.
“I guarantee you and I am confident (that) the same way we were able to get military out of power, we are going to correct the current mess.
“We are going to get to a situation where we have a functional political party, and APC and President Asiwaju (Tinubu) will be defeated in 2027, and we will produce leaders that will be servants to citizens, not leaders that are emperors.”
The former Director General of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) of the ruling APC, Salihu Lukman, stated that President Bola Tinubu, a former Lagos governor, has benefited from the dedicated efforts of some democrats committed to building democracy and should be performing better than he currently is.
Lukman added that if Tinubu were to change course and take the right actions, he would apologize and offer his support to the administration.
