\"2027:<\/p>\n

By Luminous Jannamike<\/p>\n

ABUJA \u2013 The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has urged Nigerians to take a cue from American voters by using the 2027 general elections to reject the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, over economic hardship, worsening insecurity and declining living standards.<\/p>\n

\n

The party said Tuesday\u2019s US midterm elections had demonstrated that no government could take voters for granted, insisting that Nigerians must put their welfare above political loyalty, sentiments and personality politics when deciding who governs them.<\/p>\n

\n

In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC described the American election outcome as a decisive rebuke of the ruling Republican Party\u2019s leadership and economic policies, saying it offered an important lesson for Nigeria\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAmericans have shown that when politicians become arrogant, when policies punish ordinary people, and when those in power mistake popularity for a permanent licence to govern, the ballot box remains the ultimate instrument of accountability,\u201d the party said.<\/p>\n

\n

The opposition party said Nigerians had endured years of economic hardship and worsening insecurity under the President Bola Tinubu-led APC administration, questioning why the ruling party should be rewarded with another mandate.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe cannot continue to complain about the cost of living while voting for a President who has made life unaffordable. We cannot demand security while rewarding failure. We cannot earnestly yearn for change while sustaining the very political system responsible for our collective impoverishment,\u201d the ADC said.<\/p>\n

\n

Urging Nigerians to mobilise ahead of 2027, the party called for massive voter turnout, describing the Permanent Voter Card as an instrument for changing the country\u2019s political direction.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHistory beckons in 2027. Our voters\u2019 cards must become instruments of change, not souvenirs of citizenship. Nigerians must turn out massively and vote for their own interests,\u201d Abdullahi said.<\/p>\n

\n

The party also unveiled its campaign message, presenting itself and its candidates as an alternative to the APC-led government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ADC and its candidates are offering Nigerians a clear alternative: Make Nigeria Affordable Again. Make Nigeria Safe Again. Give Nigerians Jobs Again,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

\n

Drawing a direct parallel with the American elections, Abdullahi urged Nigerians to make their votes count in 2027, warning that the APC should not mistake its hold on power for a permanent mandate.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIf Americans can use their votes to demand better, Nigerians can do the same. In 2027, let our votes speak louder than the APC-induced suffering,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
