In a recent interview, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged Nigerians to prevent the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from returning to power in the upcoming 2027 elections. Bala Ibrahim, the APC’s National Publicity Director, criticized the PDP for its alleged mismanagement during its 16 years in power, suggesting that the party’s return would be detrimental to the nation’s progress.
Ibrahim emphasized that Nigeria is still grappling with the consequences of the PDP’s previous governance, describing the party as “gone” and questioning its capability to lead the country again. He further stated that the APC is “enjoying the entertainment” of observing the PDP’s internal challenges, implying that the party is not equipped to manage its own affairs, let alone the nation’s.
The APC’s appeal comes amid ongoing leadership crises within the PDP, which have raised concerns about the party’s stability and readiness for future governance. Ibrahim’s remarks suggest that the APC views the PDP’s current state as a sign of its decline and potential irrelevance in the upcoming electoral cycle.
This development adds to the growing political discourse as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections. The APC’s call for vigilance against the PDP’s resurgence reflects the competitive nature of Nigerian politics and the high stakes involved in the forthcoming electoral process.
As the election approaches, Nigerians are encouraged to critically assess the political landscape, considering the histories and current standings of all parties involved. The APC’s statement serves as a reminder of the dynamic and often contentious nature of Nigerian politics, where party fortunes can change rapidly, and the electorate plays a crucial role in shaping the nation’s future.
