In a recent statement, Dr. Salihu Lukman, former National Vice Chairman North-west of the All Progressives Congress (APC), expressed deep concern over the party’s declining popularity. Lukman lamented that the policies implemented by President Bola Tinubu have exacerbated the challenges faced by Nigerians, contributing to the party’s waning support among the populace.<\/p>\n
Highlighting the urgent need for action, Lukman cautioned that the APC faced the looming threat of rebellion if immediate steps were not taken to address the prevailing situation. He emphasized the importance of returning to the party’s founding principles and restoring its original vision of being a progressive political force in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
“It is painful to admit that both the APC as a party and the government of President Asiwaju Tinubu are becoming increasingly unpopular with Nigerians,” Lukman stated. He warned against underestimating the potential for discontent to escalate into widespread opposition, particularly in the absence of strong political and civil society organizations to provide leadership against the ruling party.<\/p>\n
Acknowledging the weakened state of political opposition and civil society, Lukman underscored the critical role of visionary leadership in steering the APC back on course. He called for substantive political reforms aimed at repositioning the party and aligning it with the aspirations of the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n
“To avert such danger, it is important that our leaders return to their old mode of acting as visionary politicians and initiate deeply more substantive political reforms in the country to reposition the APC and return it to its founding vision of becoming a progressive political,” Lukman emphasized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
