Di immediate past National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Salihu Lukman, don call on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and former Governors Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Rotimi Amaechi make dem join hand to scatter the ruling APC for 2027.
Lukman, wey yarn dis one for statement wey e release for Abuja on Sunday, also list former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, former Governors Nasir el-Rufai, Rauf Aregbesola, Kayode Fayemi and Ibikunle Amosun, among other political leaders, for di proposed merger.
Lukman, wey title di statement “Future of Democracy for Naija”, talk say make Nigerian political leaders show selflessness as dem dey build di kind united front wey fit move Nigerian democracy forward.
As e dey lament di current situation of di country, di former Director General of di Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) yan say APC as di ruling party for Naija bin promise to provide di needed leadership to fight corruption, but instead, dem come dey legitimize corruption for high level for di country and also legitimize di phenomenon wey dem dey call ‘state capture’ for almost all levels.
E talk say APC bin dey popular sake of di wahala wey PDP bin get, but after dem enter power, dem no fit meet expectation.
“No be lie, former President Buhari get im wahala as leader. But any wahala wey dem estimate say e get, suppose be shared responsibility of APC leaders for different levels, including President Asiwaju Tinubu. No APC leader suppose dey try run from di failure of Buhari era, especially President Asiwaju Tinubu,” Lukman yan for di statement.
"In one way or di other, APC leaders, no exception, na ‘beneficiaries’ of Buhari era, even though some of dem fit claim say dem be victims. But if we wan balance am, APC leaders gain pass from Buhari era pass dem suffer. At least, for election matter, former President Buhari make am possible for APC to scatter PDP. If no be former President Buhari, e for dey almost impossible for PDP to lose for 2015, and by extension, e for dey hard, if no be impossible, for President Asiwaju Tinubu to become President of Federal Republic of Naija.
“Unfortunately, after dem scatter PDP for 2015, APC no fit produce di kind collective leadership wey dem need to manage di government wey dem produce for all levels. Gradually, APC come turn democracy upside down. Instead of dem to produce democratic leaders, elected leaders come dey behave like emperors and overlords. State machinery come dey captured and privatized to only serve di interests of elected representatives,” e talk.
