In what appears to be a bold political awakening ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 General Elections, Barrister Solomon Dalung, former Minister of Youth and Sports and Leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of Nigerians (MEN), has predicted that the upcoming elections will redefine the nation’s democratic landscape. Speaking with the conviction of a man deeply rooted in Nigeria’s political history, Dalung said the 2027 polls will no longer be a mere contest between the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition, but rather “a struggle between the oppressed and the oppressors.”
As an investigative journalist who has closely followed Dalung’s political trajectory—from his days in civil rights activism to his tenure in government—it is evident that his recent outburst is not mere rhetoric. His statements mirror years of frustration among citizens who believe the Nigerian political class has hijacked democracy for personal enrichment.
Dalung described the coming election as a defining battle between genuine democrats and power brokers who have turned governance into a system of “land robbery” and oppression. He accused the political establishment of advancing “a false idea that they are entitled to rule,” thereby perpetuating a cycle of inequality and deceit.
“The 2027 General Elections will not be a contest between APC supporters and the so-called opposition only. That is a lie invented by the emiloko news machine,” Dalung declared. “It will be a struggle between Nigerians and a ruling class built on injustice, kakistocracy, and economic manipulation.”
In his fiery statement, Dalung drew sharp contrasts between citizens who believe in the rule of law and justice and political elites who, according to him, “use hunger, poverty, and taxation as weapons to control the poor.” He further accused segments of the political elite of exploiting religion and ethnicity to divide the nation for selfish gain.
He said the upcoming elections would serve as a referendum on Nigeria’s conscience—testing whether power will continue to be traded through money politics or reclaimed by ordinary Nigerians demanding accountability. “For those dreaming of looting to take over power, this will be a hot wake-up call—because Nigeria will not allow affairs like before,” he warned.
Dalung’s remarks have stirred political debate across the country, with analysts viewing his statement as both a warning and a mobilization message to citizens dissatisfied with the status quo. Political observers believe his group, the Movement for the Emancipation of Nigerians (MEN), could evolve into a formidable moral voice pushing for reforms in Nigeria’s electoral system and governance ethics.
As Nigeria inches closer to 2027, Dalung’s words echo a growing national sentiment—one that sees the coming election not just as a vote, but as a historic confrontation between democracy and decadence.
