Therefore, regardless of what APC thinks, there will be vacancy at the Presidential Villa in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Tinubu must re-apply to the Nigerian people, and he must show Nigerians why they should allow him to continue on the job, despite his ruinous policies that have made life miserable for the majority,\u201d the statement read in part.<\/p>\n<p>The ADC listed key areas where it said the APC government has failed, including food prices, insecurity, poor electricity supply, and rising poverty.<\/p>\n<p>It also accused the ruling party of praising itself while ordinary citizens continue to suffer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo say there\u2019s no vacancy two years before an election is like telling Nigerians their votes don\u2019t matter. It\u2019s an insult to struggling parents, jobless graduates, and business owners who are suffering through no fault of theirs. Come 2027, the APC must reapply to lead this country, they don\u2019t get to score themselves,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
