Chief Bisi Akande, the pioneer Interim Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has issued a warning against returning the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to power in the 2027 elections.NYSC Portal

He expressed his concern that bringing the PDP back into power would lead to more hardships for Nigerians.

Akande made these remarks in response to a question regarding the proposal by opposition parties to form a coalition with the aim of defeating the ruling APC at the national level. He emphasized that such a coalition would not alleviate the current challenges faced by Nigerians.JAMB Result

The idea of forming a coalition against the APC in the 2027 election had been suggested by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar. However, Akande, who played a pivotal role in the formation of the APC and its victory in the 2015 general election, expressed his belief that returning the PDP to power would result in continued suffering for the Nigerian populace.

He said, “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.

“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.informationguidenigeria

“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.

“The way he managed the dilapidated arrangement would not be the same way Bola Tinubu would manage it because they don’t come from the same background even if they are twins. Even their advisers will not be the same. So the effects won’t be the same on the society itself because society itself is weak already.”

Commenting further on the way out of the current economic hardship in the country, Akande said the desired change in fortune would depend on Nigerians and not the leadership in charge of the affairs of the nation.

He said, “A society that doesn’t know how to work, that is the foundation upon which you want to build whether what Buhari called Change or what Bola Tinubu called Renewed Hope. It depends on the society.

“It would have been easier if Buhari or Bola Tinubu ruled in Europe or America or China. Those societies believe in work. Whether you reject APC or readopt PDP or stay with APC, your fate can only change with you as a citizen, not with a leader.”
