Past leaders contributed to Nigeria’s political woes – APC’s Lukman

A former National Vice Chairman, North-West of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Dr Salihu Lukman has claimed that leading opposition figures in the country contributed in no small measure to the current political woes facing the country.

He said opposition leaders and politically displaced politicians on account of their influential roles in past administrations and the failures of those administrations should be humble enough to take a backseat to build a strong coalition to strengthen Nigerian politics.

Lukman in a statement issued Sunday said many of the politicians would be adjudged as accessories, whether before or after the current political travesty.

He lamented that many of the opposition and displaced politicians with ambitions are highly complicit and have little or no credentials to emerge as better political leaders.

Lukman noted: “Given their records of service, they are most likely to be worse than former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan, Muhammadu Buhari and now President Tinubu.

“Based on their records, they exhibit intolerant dispositions and poor relationships on accounts of which they have mismanaged their transitions and are today hardly in control of political structures in their states.

“Some of them, on account of their influential roles in past administrations and the failures of those administrations, should be humble enough to take a backseat in an effort to build a strong coalition to strengthen Nigerian politics. Instead, it is more like a case of unrepentant show of shame.”
