Northern Elites has launched a new political party for the 2027 Presidential Poll.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Former Kano State governor, Ibrahim Shekarau, and his colleagues in the League of Northern Democrats (LND) which started as a pro-northern group promoting good governance, have announced plans to transform into a political party.

 

The group also expressed a desire to transform into the League of National Democrats, with support from like minds in Southern Nigeria.

 

This, it said, would help build a political party strong enough to break the vice-like grip of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on the nation’s polity.

Convener of the LND, Dr. Umar Ardo,who  said this in a statement in Abuja yesterday, stated:  “The PDP and APC, along with other existing political parties, have not only failed to address Nigeria’s fundamental challenges, but have also, over the years, not shown sign or intention to ever do so.

 

“Their methods of governance have, throughout, been marked by absence of patriotism and sacrifice.

 

‘’The two parties, since their inceptions, have become more entrenched in self-service and dishonesty in leadership, particularly after the Obasanjo presidency.

 

“These parties have become instruments of imposition, where leadership selection is driven by personal ambition and manipulation, rather than merit or democratic consensus.

 

“Their internal systems reward loyalty over competence, perpetuating governance that prioritises patronage over public interest; and both parties have consistently produced leaders more interested in consolidating power than addressing the socio-economic realities of Nigerians.

 

“This trajectory has resulted in deepening poverty, heightened insecurity, eroded public trust and a national psyche weighed down by despair and cynicism. Clearly, Nigeria’s progress demands a radical departure from this failing paradigm.”

 

The LND convener stated further that Nigeria‘s problems, which include endemic poverty, insecurity, inequality, institutional decay, corruption and socio-economic stagnation, were a direct consequence of poor governance.

 

He described the New Year message by the former APC National Vice Chairman (North West), Salihu Lukman, in which he called for decisive action to address these challenges as apt.

 

Ardo noted that the call for an alternative platform to tackle the nation’s problems could not have come at a better time.

 

“This clarion call resonates deeply with the aspirations of many Nigerians yearning for a break from the vicious cycle of ineffectual governance of the PDP and APC, and especially among northerners.

 

“In response to this demand, some critical and credible elites in the north came up with the League of Northern Democrats, LND, as the most viable alternative political platform, offering a pathway to national redemption.

 

“Rooted in democratic values and committed to institutional renewal, the LND represents a beacon of hope for a country at the crossroads of decline and resurgence.

 

“The strategic approach is to instigate similar process in the south that we ultimately merge with to create League of National Democrats, LND, and transform it into a registered political party.

 

“The League of National Democrats, as a registered political entity, offers an innovative, inclusive and forward-thinking approach to rebuilding Nigeria’s political system.

 

‘’Its guiding principles and strategic orientation will uniquely position it to deliver the credible change Nigerians desperately seek.

 

“Unlike the PDP and APC, LND’s foundation will be committed to restoring patriotism, honesty and democratic values in the polity.”
