Lawal Musa Daura, the Vice-Presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, has emphasized the need for an inclusive government in Nigeria. On Wednesday, in Abuja, during the party's manifesto unveiling, Daura described inclusivity, mutual respect, and national dialogue as crucial elements for sustainable democracy and national development. He stressed that these elements would help address the country's challenges. Daura's statement comes as the APM prepares for the 2027 elections.

Daura highlighted the significance of opposition in a democratic system. According to him, opposition determines how much the government can handle political temperature or its ability to bring it down. He maintained that opposition parties should be seen as complementary to government rather than enemies. A strong opposition, Daura argued, helps to reduce political tension and strengthen democratic governance. This, he believes, would promote a healthy democratic system.

The APM Vice-Presidential candidate expressed concern about the state of Nigeria's democracy. He noted that the country's democratic system is facing challenges due to unfair political competition and the suppression of opposition voices. Daura emphasized that democracy cannot thrive in an atmosphere where political opponents are denied a fair playing field and citizens are prevented from freely expressing their choices. This, he believes, is a threat to democracy itself.

Daura outlined the APM's vision for the 2027 elections. He stated that the party's intention is to promote justice, fairness, and genuine representation. The APM's political ambition, Daura insisted, is driven by the interest of Nigerians. The party aims to provide a platform for citizens to participate in the democratic process freely and fairly.

The APM Vice-Presidential candidate emphasized the need for national dialogue. He believes that democracy develops through tranquillity, understanding, respect for one another, honesty, and sincerity. Daura's statement reflects the party's commitment to promoting a culture of dialogue and understanding in Nigeria.

Daura's call for an inclusive government has significant implications for Nigeria's democratic system. The country's opposition parties have been working to strengthen their positions ahead of the 2027 elections. Daura's statement is seen as a move to promote a more inclusive and participatory democratic process.

The APM's manifesto unveiling in Abuja marks a significant step in the party's preparations for the 2027 elections. Daura's statement has generated significant interest among Nigerians, who are looking forward to a more inclusive and participatory democratic process. The party's commitment to promoting justice, fairness, and genuine representation is seen as a positive development in Nigeria's democratic landscape.
