Salihu Lukman, a former member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee, has vowed to campaign against President Bola Tinubu and the APC-led administration.
Lukman, who supported Tinubu and campaigned for his
presidency, said the president has arrogantly derailed from the promises he
made to Nigerians.
Speaking on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Tuesday, February
4, 2024, the ex-APC chieftain challenged the president to prove him wrong,
adding that he would offer an apology if he did so.
Explaining why he supported Tinubu’s presidential ambition,
Lukman said he was convinced that the former Governor of Lagos State was a true
democrat and progressive leader.
He said, “I had the conviction that President Asiwaju is
truly a progressive politician and a Democrat, which was why I invested my
support in him, but once I saw him departing from those beliefs I had, I didn’t
wait any longer. And I was not pushed by anybody… I am humble enough to admit
that my judgement was wrong.
“It is a challenge for President Asiwaju to prove many of us
wrong, and if he did so, I would be the first to come out and apologise again,
I was wrong, but to the extent that he continues arrogantly in the direction
he’s going, without remorse that he has departed from all the promises he made
to Nigerians, I have no apology to him, and I will continue to stand and
campaign against both the APC and his administration. I have no apology for
him, and I will continue to stand and campaign against him and the APC
administration.”
Lukman, who recently joined the call for a coalition to
unseat Tinubu in 2027, advised opposition leaders to play competitive politics
to take power from the APC in 2027.
In a piece entitled “Re: Early Outline of the Permutations
for 2027”, he said he is confident that Nigerians can stand up to politicians
and win the struggle for a competitive political contest.
