2027: LPPMC Declares Support For Anti-APC Coalition

The Liberal Progressive and Patriotic Members Congress (LPPMC), a rebranded political movement formerly known as the Labour Party Patriotic Members Congress, has pledged its full support for a national coalition aimed at unseating the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.

In a statement issued by Luka Ikechukwu of Pointsman Projects Media, a good governance advocacy group, the LPPMC described the coalition as a convergence of “well-meaning and public-spirited Nigerians” determined to rescue Nigeria from what it termed the “failures of poor governance under the APC.”

Highlighting its active role in galvanising support for the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, the LPPMC said it was redirecting its grassroots energy toward broader national reform.

“Our Congress is ready, willing, able, and committed to deploy its structures across all six geopolitical zones, the 36 states, the FCT, and the 774 local government areas in support of the coalition and in pursuit of responsible and responsive governance,” the statement declared.

The Congress further pledged to leverage its “monstrous followership” and material resources to defend democracy and promote leadership that is genuinely accountable to the Nigerian people.

According to the group, its participation in the coalition was not about political convenience, but about principle.

“This must be different from the current order where leaders have failed in accountability,” the group noted. “We shall mobilise our structures to support the genuine effort of progressives to rescue the nation.”

The National Coordinator of the Congress, Kingsley Okundaye, reiterated the LPPMC’s unwavering commitment to democratic values and nation-building, stating that Nigeria is in dire need of a new political culture.

“Our dear nation, and all those in leadership, whether in government or the opposition must embrace the progressive and patriotic ideals that define LPPMC as a credible vehicle for national rebirth,” he said.

Okundaye also expressed optimism that the coalition’s efforts would result in a “new dawn” for Nigeria, stressing that any alliance must be “people-centered and policy-driven.”
