The Allied People’s Movement (APM) has said Nigerians were not supporting the re-election of President Bola Tinubu because of his poor performance.

The National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, said those calling for his re-election despite his scorecard were “discredited politicians including those seeking official cover” for alleged wrongs against Nigerians.

The opposition party noted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) knows it cannot win the 2027 presidential poll, that is the reason the ruling party is jittery over the rising popularity of the APM and its presidential candidate, Seyi Makinde.

“Any person calling for the re-election of the Tinubu administration is directly supporting the retaining of a hopeless and rudderless administration; an administration that has no solution to the worsening insecurity, mindless killings, maiming and kidnapping of our compatriots by terrorists.

“Indeed, such person will be supporting an administration that lacks the capacity and skill to run a healthy economy and provide for the need of the people, but relishes on imposing asphyxiating policies that are crippling of our productive sector, resulting in closure of millions of businesses with attendant mass job loss, massive unemployment, high cost of living, widespread hunger, starvation and sense of hopelessness across the country. “

the APM added that “supporting President Tinubu’s reelection would amount to supporting reckless spending and mortgaging of the future of our nation to foreign interest through heedless external borrowing that has reportedly hit a frightening $51.86 billion (approximately N74.43 trillion).

“Of course, this is not an administration that Nigerians deserve and no patriotic Nigerian will descend into ignominy to stand against the majority of other citizens to call for the re-election of an administration under which there is no ray of hope for our nation.

“In summary, those calling for President Tinubu’s re-election are calling for more suffering, more insecurity, more unemployment, more poverty, more collapsed infrastructure and more hopelessness in our country.

“Most distressing is that many of those calling for President Tinubu’s re-election hold passports of other nations, have their homes and families abroad and do not care if our nation collapses under APC misrule.”
