Nigerians will vote out Tinubu in 2027 – Salihu Lukman
A former National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), North-West, Salihu Lukman, declared on Wednesday that Nigerians would vote out President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
The former Director-General of the Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF) stated this when he featured on Channels Television’s programme, Politics Today.
He said the All Progressives Congress (APC) has failed Nigerians and does not deserve to remain in power beyond 2027.
According to him, Nigeria’s economy and security situation has worsened under Tinubu’s watch.
He also argued that the party produced emperors as governors in the states.

Lukman has become one of the biggest critics of the APC since Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023.
He resigned his membership of the APC on June 13 in protest over the handling of the party’s affairs by Abdullahi Ganduje-led national leadership.
“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 the 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.”
