The former National Vice Chairman, Northwest, of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Salihu Lukman, has described President Bola Tinubu as inaccessible.
Drawing a comparison between President Tinubu and the late
Head of State, General Sani Abacha, Lukman declared that the latter was even
more accessible.
He also called on former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and
Ibrahim Babangida, as well as retired General Aliyu Gusau, to innovate
strategies that could displace the APC from power in 2027.
He said Nigerians are currently facing an existential crisis
because the nation’s democracy is in the Intensive Care Unit, ICU.
Lukman, in a statement issued Tuesday in Abuja, was reacting
to media reports of Sunday’s meeting of the trio in Minna, Niger state.
According to him, “More than at anytime in the history of
Nigeria, citizens are being impoverished on an alarming scale. Since May 29,
2023 when President Asiwaju took over, it has been a downward slide for
Nigerians.
“Being a democratic government, the expectation would have
been that President Tinubu will be more accessible.
“Alas, he is proving to be the most inaccessible leader of
Nigeria. Even late General Sani Abacha was by far more accessible.
“All previous military governments are turning out to be
much more open to consultations and receptive to recommendations from Nigerians
than the government of President Asiwaju Tinubu.
“As President of the Federal Republic, President Asiwaju
Tinubu is showing his worst side. Some of the key projects of the last
government have been abandoned.
“A good example is
Kaduna-Abuja Road, which is becoming a death trap. But without any budgetary
provision, a new project of more than N15 trillion, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal
Highway, started.
“Meanwhile, public investment towards addressing the
challenges of insecurity is at best business-as-usual. And the crisis of
insecurity is reduced to ceremonial show of shame and public lamentations by
leaders,” he stated.
