Chief Bisi Akande, the pioneer Interim Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, has warned Nigerians that rejecting the party and returning the Peoples Democratic Party to power in 2027 would be terrible and won’t solve their problems.

 

Akande believes that if the main opposition party returns to power, Nigerians will face even greater challenges.

 

The elder statesman was responding to the opposition parties’ suggestion to form a coalition to unseat the incumbent party at the federal level in the upcoming 2027 general election.

 

He stated that the planned coalition will not provide Nigerians with relief from their current difficulties.

 

Akande revealed this while addressing journalists in Ila Orangun, Osun State, on Saturday as part of celebrations commemorating his 85th birthday.

 

“If PDP was rejected and the same PDP coalesced again and people say, okay we will go back to it, the people will go back to their suffering. PDP was defeated because it had no clue,” he said.

 

“APC comes, it inherited a very difficult, weak, and dilapidated political and economic foundation called Nigeria. In driving, you are driving and suddenly, maybe something happens in front and you have to turn. Whether you do it by U-turn or you do it another way, there will be screeches.

 

“Those are the screeches you are seeing now in repairing damages that have been done over the years. We are talking of damages done from 1960 to 2015 and no matter what, Buhari too was not perfect.”
