Salihu Lukman, a former national vice chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the ruling party are the same.Lukman claimed that the APC was now worse than the PDP it was meant to replace during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
He emphasised that the APC was founded because the PDP was turning into a one-man show where internal democracy had been abandoned and candidates were forced upon the voters.
He claimed that in order to overthrow the PDP and address some of the irregularities identified at the time, the opposition parties decided to combine.
We had no doubts about the type of party the APC ought to be. In addition to the imposition of candidates, one of the PDP’s faults that we observed was that elected officials had no accountability to the party or to anybody else. Based on this, we believed that the APC would be built differently, which is where the phrase “change” originated.
“The party has strayed from the conception that it was going to be social democratic with a priority on the issues of health, education, and social services during the debate about the party’s manifesto,” Lukman added.
The APC leader claimed that Muhammadu Buhari’s presidency was partially to blame for the party’s issues and that the president was comparable to an emperor since he was the singular electoral asset of the party.He bemoaned that things had really become worse, saying, “We were hoping with Asiwaju (President Bola Ahmed Tinubu), things will start changing.”
Some of its organs have not met since the organisation of the party that we are hosting. The APC leader bemoaned, “We have a party that has controlled the government for a year without holding a meeting.
He described the present administration as an extreme right-wing one, claiming that the APC was too preoccupied building the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway to address issues like hunger, insecurity, and the country’s 10 million out-of-school children.
The APC’s former national vice chairman claimed that the Tinubu leading the country at the time was not the same as the Tinubu running the government in Lagos and that in order to put things back on track, he needed to alter the people in his immediate vicinity.
