The All Democratic Alliance (ADA) has warned that Nigerians must not allow the 2027 general elections to become another wasted opportunity.
Protem National Secretary of the party, Dr. Umar Ardo, issued the warning in Abuja on Sunday.
He declared that both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had failed the nation when given the chance to govern.
He said: “The hour of decision is now. Nigeria cannot afford another wasted election cycle. 2027 must not be business as usual. The recycled politicians of APC, PDP and sundry have forfeited every moral right to lead this country. They have failed, and failed woefully. Their continued grip on power is a death sentence for Nigeria’s survival as a nation. But a new dawn is possible – if the patriotic elites, men and women, and the Nigerian youths, unite under one banner, the ADA banner. Together, we can birth a political renaissance rooted in justice.”
Dr. Ardo explained that ADA, which recently secured provisional approval from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), held the key to unlocking Nigeria’s potential and securing her future.
He lamented that since the return to democracy in 1999, Nigeria had steadily sunk into “economic bankruptcy, political instability, social unrest, and disunity” despite its abundant human and material resources.
According to him, “a visionless, venal, corrupt, insensitive and banal political class” had hijacked the country for over two decades, enriching themselves while ordinary citizens languished in poverty and insecurity.
He further warned that as 2027 approaches, the same cycle of failure was repeating itself, with politicians who “wrecked the present and mortgaged the future once again jostling for power under the old platforms that destroyed the country – APC, PDP and others.”
