Nentawe Yilwatda, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), that there no vacancy in the State House in 2027.
On Tuesday, Yilwatda told APC members at the party’s
headquarters in Abuja that there would be “no vacancy in Aso Rock” in 2027.
Reacting to the comment in a statement on Wednesday, Bolaji
Abdullahi, ADC spokesperson, said the APC chairman’s remark was “arrogant” and
“disregarded the hardship” Nigerians are facing.
Abdullahi said the “presidency is not a hereditary office,
but a mandate that must be renewed through performance”.
The ADC spokesperson added that such a statement raises
concerns that the ruling party may disregard the will of Nigerians at the
polls.
“The APC chairman’s declaration of ‘no vacancy in Aso Rock’
is presumptuous and disrespectful to Nigerians who are grappling with hunger,
insecurity and joblessness,” the statement reads.
“We understand why the APC is afraid and would wish to avoid
that day of reckoning with the ballot box. But periodic elections mean every
incumbent must seek a fresh mandate.”
Abdullahi said “no matter the ruling party’s position, there
will be a vacancy at the presidential villa in 2027″.
“President Tinubu must reapply to Nigerians and explain why
he deserves to continue despite policies that have worsened the suffering of
the majority,” he said.
“The APC government and its media operatives keep awarding
themselves medals, but food prices are soaring, bandits are overrunning
communities, and the naira remains battered.
“To declare no vacancy two years before an election is to
mock the power of Nigerians’ votes. It insults parents who cannot feed their
families, graduates without jobs and entrepreneurs whose businesses have
collapsed.
“Let it be known, the APC will have to reapply for the job
of leading this country in 2027, and they do not get to mark their own papers.”
Abdullahi added that Tinubu would be judged in 2027 by
indicators such as youth employment, security, poverty, electricity supply and
justice.
