As the 2027 general elections approach, political discontent with the APC is reaching a boiling point. Former party leaders, opposition figures, and civil society organizations have joined forces in calling for new leadership to steer Nigeria out of its economic crisis. Public protests against the government’s policies are growing, with citizens demanding greater transparency, accountability, and a shift in government priorities.
Many Nigerians feel betrayed by the APC’s campaign promises, which centered on renewing hope and improving living conditions. “We voted for change, but all we got was more suffering,” said a participant at a recent rally in Lagos. With public trust in the APC eroding, the opposition parties are capitalizing on the discontent, promising better governance if elected.
Social media has become a critical platform for organizing political resistance. Activists and influencers are urging citizens to register to vote and hold the government accountable at the ballot box. As Nigerians prepare for the next election cycle, the future of the APC-led government hangs in the balance, with many questioning whether it can survive the mounting wave of public discontent.
