APC Chieftain Accuses Tinubu of Autocratic Rule, Raises Concerns for Second Term
Salihu Mohammed Lukman, former vice chairman (North-West) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has leveled serious allegations against President Bola Tinubu, accusing him of governing the country in a manner reminiscent of a military dictator.
Lukman criticized Tinubu for allegedly centralizing power and shutting down party structures, portraying himself as a king with all the answers to Nigeria’s challenges. He warned that if the current security and socio-economic issues persist, they could jeopardize Tinubu’s chances of securing a second term.
In a statement, Lukman expressed disappointment with the state of affairs in the country, citing widespread poverty, insecurity, hunger, and high cost of goods and services as evidence that the APC had failed to fulfill its promises to Nigerians.
He questioned Tinubu’s leadership approach, likening it to that of a military dictator and suggesting that the party’s actions were undermining its credibility with the electorate.
Lukman also raised concerns about Tinubu’s alliances with political figures who previously opposed him, suggesting that these alliances may be driven by a desire to secure a second term through means other than electoral votes.
He argued that many APC members believed that both former President Buhari and Tinubu were primarily interested in winning elections and becoming presidents, rather than implementing good governance and policy.
The accusations by Lukman highlight growing discontent within the APC and raise questions about the party’s direction under Tinubu’s leadership.
