Former presidential aspirant of the Labour Party and leader of the Rescue Movement for New Nigeria, Faduri Oluwadare Joseph, has issued a passionate appeal to Nigerians, urging them to reject the resurgence of old political elites as the 2027 general elections approach. In a strongly worded statement, Joseph condemned what he described as the recycling of politicians who have long held positions of power yet have failed to deliver meaningful progress for the country.
He argued that many of the familiar faces now rebranding themselves as agents of national change are the same individuals responsible for Nigeria’s enduring struggles. According to Joseph, these figures should be held accountable for the economic stagnation, decaying education system, widespread youth unemployment, and general insecurity plaguing the nation. He described them as “architects of failure” whose sudden alignment into coalitions is not driven by a genuine desire to uplift Nigeria, but rather by a desperate effort to protect their political survival.
“These are the same individuals who created the systemic rot that President Tinubu inherited and even exacerbated,” he remarked, calling on Nigerians not to be deceived by appearances or rhetoric. Joseph emphasized that real transformation would not come from those who have repeatedly betrayed public trust, but from everyday Nigerians — especially the youth, women, and disadvantaged communities — who have endured years of neglect.
He also lambasted the flurry of recent political coalitions, calling them a “coalition of corruption and greed.” In his view, such alliances are not founded on noble intentions but represent a thinly veiled attempt by the political class to remain relevant and continue looting national resources under a new guise.
Rather than embracing these familiar figures, Joseph encouraged Nigerians to support emerging political platforms like the National Rescue Movement (NRM) and the Rescue Movement for New Nigeria. These movements, he claimed, are rooted in integrity, transparency, and a genuine desire to uplift citizens.
Joseph further cautioned that many of the same politicians are already stockpiling resources — not to improve governance — but to manipulate the democratic process by buying votes and perpetuating a cycle of failed leadership. “They are preparing to sabotage democracy with money, influence, and manipulation,” he warned.
Looking ahead to the 2027 elections, Joseph framed the vote as a pivotal opportunity for Nigerians to reclaim their nation and steer it in a new direction. He stressed that this moment must be seized by those who have long suffered in silence, adding, “The next election belongs to the ordinary Nigerian — the market woman, the jobless graduate, the children who dream of a better tomorrow.”
In his closing remarks, Joseph called for unity among citizens, urging them to protect their votes, stay vigilant, and reject all forms of deceit. “2027 is the year of the people’s decision. Our vote is our voice, our power, and our future. Let us unite for a new Nigeria, free from recycled failures and greedy alliances,” he declared.
Through this message, Faduri Oluwadare Joseph not only warned Nigerians of political deception but also lit a beacon of hope, encouraging a fresh path towards genuine transformation and leadership that prioritizes the welfare of the people.
