Lawal Daura, vice-presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM), has warned that attempts to manipulate the 2027 presidential election will be resisted. Daura issued the warning during the inauguration of the National Campaign Management Committee of the Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation in Abuja.
The former Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS) said political parties should seek votes by convincing Nigerians through their programmes, policies and candidates rather than looking for shortcuts. He stressed that the election must be conducted in accordance with the law and the Electoral Act.
Daura said Nigeria’s registered voter population has surpassed 100 million and described mobilising voters as a major task ahead of the 2027 election. He said the campaign is targeting substantial support for the Makinde-Daura ticket while seeking to persuade voters through its proposed agenda.
He also described the party’s objective as a “reset” of Nigeria, saying critical sectors and existing structures would need to be reviewed and reformed. APM National Chairman Yusuf Dantalle urged members of the campaign organisation to work with party structures towards the 2027 election while managing internal differences effectively.
