Dr Salihu Lukman, Director- General, Progressive Governors
Forum (PGF) has accused the former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode of
manipulating the leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to gain
membership of the party.
This was contained in a statement he issued on Friday in
Abuja.
“The issue of Fani-Kayode’s move to join the APC is a clear
instance of attempts to manipulate some of our leaders into accepting
membership of someone who ought not to have been considered a member of our
party.
“If that was the case in the past, it is better late than
never to correct such a mistake; as party members, we were able to rise up to
the challenge of engaging our leaders.
“Fortunately, we gained the respect of our leaders and
surely, moving forward, issues of who qualifies to be a member of our party
will be clarified unambiguously,’’ he said.
Lukman stated that unlike other political parties in the
country, APC is careful about who should join the party.
He said if it was the opposition party, the People
Democratic Party (PDP), once the national chairman acts on a matter and backed
by a serving governor, members could only grumble.
“In doing so, we must not allow the current public mindset
of condemning politics, our leaders and our country to provoke us into being
defensive,’’ he said.
He admitted that there could be many instances of the
possibility that APC leaders and members of the party may make wrong decisions,
stressing that the capacity to correct those wrong decisions is what politics
require “not some fantasies”.
