Salihu Lukman has predicted the end of the era for President Tinubu ahead of the 2027 Presidency.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Former National Vice Chairman, North-West of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Salihu Lukman, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will face defeat in the 2027 elections, echoing the historical ousting of military rulers from power over 25 years ago.
In an appearance on Channels Television’s “Politics Today” programme on Wednesday, Lukman criticized the current administration, highlighting deteriorating security and economic conditions under Tinubu’s 15-month tenure.

He asserted that the APC has failed to meet Nigerians’ expectations and is unworthy of re-election.
Lukman also condemned the APC’s performance at the state level, describing its governors as “emperors” who have not delivered on their promises.
Lukman said, “This country cannot continue like this. What I know is that something will have to give. Whether that act of giving will produce something that will correct all the mess around is what I am pushing.
“I guarantee you and I am confident (that) the same way we were able to get military out of power, we are going to correct the current mess.
“We are going to get to a situation where we have a functional political party, and APC and President Asiwaju (Tinubu) will be defeated in 2027, and we will produce leaders that will be servants to citizens, not leaders that are emperors.”
The former Director General of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) of the ruling APC said Tinubu, ex-Lagos governor, is a beneficiary of the committed support of some democrats to building democracy and should do better than he is currently doing.
Lukman said should Tinubu retrace his steps and do the right things, he would apologise to him and support his administration.
