Salihu Lukman, former APC Vice Chair, warns that President Bola Tinubu’s governance could deteriorate beyond the levels seen under former President Buhari, raising serious concerns about Nigeria’s future.
Salihu Lukman, the former National Vice Chairman for the North-West zone of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has delivered a stark warning about the trajectory of President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Lukman, known for his candid assessments of Nigeria’s political landscape, has expressed grave concerns that Tinubu’s governance could deteriorate to levels even worse than those witnessed under former President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a strongly worded statement, Lukman did not mince words, criticizing the current state of governance under Tinubu. He lamented that despite the high hopes many had for Buhari’s presidency, his performance ultimately failed to meet public expectations. Lukman drew parallels between Buhari and Tinubu, cautioning that the same disappointment could occur under Tinubu’s leadership if corrective measures are not taken.
Lukman highlighted a troubling pattern in Nigerian politics, where successive administrations appear to decline in effectiveness. He pointed out that while the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan was widely criticized, many Nigerians found Buhari’s tenure to be even less satisfactory. Now, Lukman fears that Tinubu may continue this trend, leading the country into deeper governance challenges.
His concerns are not just about the present but extend to the future of Nigeria’s political leadership. Lukman questioned what guarantees exist that the government following Tinubu in 2027 would not further worsen the situation. He emphasized that without significant changes, Nigeria could be trapped in a cycle of deteriorating governance, with each administration failing to deliver on its promises.
As the political atmosphere in Nigeria heats up, Lukman’s statements add to the growing discourse on the direction of Tinubu’s presidency and the broader implications for the APC and the country at large. His critique serves as a call to action for leaders within the APC and beyond to ensure that the nation does not continue down a path of diminishing returns in governance.
