He emphasized the importance of taking power from the APC in the 2027 elections.
Speaking via a statement on Saturday, Salihu insisted that replacing the APC is not enough, adding that the citizenry must ensure that the new political party has the power to put elected officials in check.
He condemned the opposition for failing to join forces and work together towards building a common platform, capable of overthrowing the APC and President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
The former APC stalwart lamented that it is quite worrisome that despite the dangers before the nation, key opposition leaders believe in a business-as-usual approach to politics.
According to him, “At this point, it is important to appeal to our key opposition leaders to wake up and try to be compassionate and appreciate the gravity of the dire situation facing citizens.
The big question is whether, on account of personal ambitions, we want to continue to mismanage our reality and sacrifice every opportunity, which ideally a democratic system offers.
“The opportunity that the democratic system offers is that any government, which fails its citizens should be voted out. No doubt, by any standard, both President Tinubu and APC have failed Nigerians. It is quite disheartening that a party, which came with all the promises of changing Nigeria for the better has ended up ruining the country.
