Former APC National Vice Chairman, North West, Salihu Lukman, has urged politicians, especially those in the opposition, to prioritize strengthening democracy over personal ambition ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a statement titled “Early Outline of the Permutations for 2027,” Lukman cautioned against the politics of power shift, warning that it often serves as a tool for individual political gains rather than genuine democratic progress.
He stressed that Nigeria’s democracy needs leadership driven by selflessness and political competition rather than imposition.
According to him, a focus on power struggles weakens governance, erodes accountability, and perpetuates political dictatorship.
Lukman called on Nigerians to reject self-serving politicians and advocate for a system that fosters true democracy, where leadership emerges through merit and competition, not political maneuvering.
