A former All Progressives Congress (APC), chieftain, Salihu Mohammed Lukman, is of the believe that President Bola Tinubu may not be able to achieve the feat he made in Lagos state while he was a governor.

The former National Vice Chairman of North-West, stated that Tinubu’s administration has succeeded in creating more doubts in the minds of Nigerians, a year into his tenure.

Lukman raised concerns after 25 years of democratic rule, Nigeria was yet to produce leaders who are predisposed to accommodating the interests of the people.

In a statement titled, ‘Illusive politics: What is to be done’, shared on Tuesday, May 21 Lukman said;

“Painfully, against every expectation that President Asiwaju Tinubu will reignite the Lagos success story at the national level, his government is more and more creating doubts in the minds of Nigerians about the prospect of resolving the country’s challenges with incidences of policy missteps and reversals.

As a result, the crisis of insecurity has remained. Problems of inflation, unemployment and poverty are on the increase.”

Lukman, a former Director General of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), also expressed displeasure that the party loyalists who campaigned for Tinubu have been sidelined while political mercenaries who fought against his election are now his strongest allies with free access.

He added, “Failure of APC and its leadership since the time of former President Muhammadu Buhari to meet the expectations of Nigerians by delivering on campaign promises has debased the country’s democracy and made a mockery of all the gains made as a nation.”
