Our attention has been drawn to a politically charged and deliberately misleading press release titled “No Patriotic Nigerian Will Vote for APC in 2027” from the stable of the tottering, disjointed and moribund opposition PDP.
While such rhetoric may make headlines, it lacks both substance and objectivity. The All Progressives Congress (APC) categorically rejects this attempt to smear our party and misrepresent the millions of patriotic Nigerians who support us.
Patriotism is not defined by party lines, but by an unwavering commitment to national growth, peace, unity, and democratic values. Over the years, the APC has consistently demonstrated these principles through reforms in infrastructure, digital economy, social investment, and agricultural revitalization – achievements that even our most vocal critics cannot deny.
To assert that “no patriotic Nigerian” would vote for APC in 2027 is not only presumptuous but deeply insulting to the intelligence of the electorate.
Nigerians are discerning, and they understand that governance is a complex, evolving task – one that requires patience, vision, and adaptability. The APC continues to provide leadership that is responsive to the challenges facing our country, and reforms are underway to further stabilize the economy, curb insecurity, and create inclusive growth.
We welcome debate, constructive criticism, and robust engagement. What we reject is the attempt to monopolize patriotism or suggest that political allegiance is the sole test of national loyalty.
The critical opposition PDP should teach us leadership by organizing their party to achieve a semblance of cohesion, understanding and unity. You can’t certainly teach what you don’t have.
As 2027 approaches, we are confident that Nigerians will judge all parties not by propaganda or emotional outbursts, but by track records, sincerity of purpose, and the capacity to lead. On all these counts, the APC will stand tall.
