The Liberal Progressive and Patriotic Members Congress (LPPMC), formerly known as the Labour Party Patriotic Members Congress, has declared its support for a growing political coalition aiming to unseat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
In a statement issued by Luka Ikechukwu of Pointsman Projects Media, a civic advocacy group promoting good governance, the LPPMC reaffirmed its commitment to mobilizing nationwide support for what it described as “well-meaning and public-spirited Nigerians” coming together to rescue the country from the current administration.
According to the statement, the LPPMC was instrumental in galvanizing public support for the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi.
The group now plans to utilize its extensive grassroots reach for broader political influence.
“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 read.
With an eye on national transformation, the LPPMC emphasized that it would contribute both its wide base of supporters and financial resources toward the success of the alliance.
The group highlighted the principles guiding its involvement, stating that its alliance with any coalition would rest on shared ideology and vision.
“This must be different from the current order where leaders have failed in accountability. We shall mobilize our structures to support the genuine effort of progressives to rescue the nation,” the statement added.
Speaking further, the National Coordinator of LPPMC, Dr. Kingsley Okundaye, reiterated the group’s dedication to fostering democratic accountability and leadership that prioritizes the needs of the people.
“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,” Okundaye said.
He also expressed optimism for the 2027 elections, stating that the LPPMC remains fully committed to working with “like-minded forces” to deliver a new political direction for Nigeria.
The group described its current efforts as part of a long-term mission to redefine governance in the country.
LPPMC concluded by stressing its resolve to be a key player in the coalition’s strategy for ushering in “a new dawn” and ensuring that future leadership is “people-centered and policy-driven.”
