The APC-led federal government appears to be an aircraft flying on autopilot without a clear flight plan, a competent navigator, or a reliable destination. Sooner or later, reality will catch up with the pilots.
With Nigerians battling hunger, rising cost of living, insecurity, unemployment, and economic uncertainty, the question is simple: where exactly is the APC taking Nigeria?
The political turbulence is intensifying, public confidence is weakening, and the warning lights are flashing. Yet, those in the cockpit appear more concerned about retaining power than correcting the dangerous course of the nation’s bumpy and turbulent flight.
My prediction is that this political aircraft will eventually make a crash landing around Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, the symbolic address of the APC power establishment, somewhere off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
Fortunately, in this political crash, the casualties should be minimal. The greatest loss will be suffered by those who have mistaken political power for permanent ownership of Nigeria.
2027 will be the moment of reckoning. Nigerians will have the opportunity to change the pilots, abandon the failed flight plan, and put the country on a new and stable course towards economic recovery, national security, affordable living, and shared prosperity.
Nigeria deserves a government that knows its destination, understands its responsibilities, and puts the welfare of its citizens above the survival of its political establishment.
The APC may be in the cockpit today, but the Nigerian people will decide who flies the aircraft on 16th January 2027.
