Former President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan, has described the 2027 general elections as a defining moment for Nigeria’s future, urging citizens to carefully consider the direction they want the country to take.
Lawan, who represents Yobe North Senatorial District, stated this in his Independence Day message to Nigerians as the country celebrated its 66th anniversary on October 1, 2026.
According to him, the forthcoming election will determine whether Nigeria sustains the path of reforms embarked upon in recent years or returns to what he described as the troubled past.
“The forthcoming 2027 general elections will be a defining moment for our future,” Lawan said.
He urged Nigerians to use their votes to protect what he described as the gains recorded so far.
“The 2027 elections are about whether we are willing to stay on the right path we have started. Let us use our votes to protect the gains we have made so far,” he said.
Lawan also called on voters to reject political forces seeking to reverse the current direction of the country.
“Let us use our votes to tell those who would drag us back to the past that we will not go back,” he added.
