Hayatu-deen Calls for Opposition Unity to Challenge APC

Hayatu-deen asserts that the opposition in Nigeria must build bridges among themselves to unseat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He reflects on the political landscape since 1999, noting a significant decline in the quality of political practice, particularly within the People Democratic Party (PDP).

He expresses concern over the increasing monetization of politics and the need for serious engagement from citizens in governance. Hayatu-deen, who joined the PDP in January 2022 to contest for the presidency, emphasizes the importance of understanding Nigeria's socio-economic history to provide practical solutions.

He critiques the period from 2007 to 2027 as one of prolonged decline, marked by worsening living conditions, rising unemployment, and deteriorating education and healthcare systems. He believes that Nigeria has the potential for recovery, citing examples of other African nations, and calls for disciplined and efficient governance to ensure the welfare and prosperity of its citizens.
