Contrary to expectations that President Bola Tinubu will repeat his prior success as Lagos governor, his administration has succeeded in sowing more doubts in the minds of Nigerians, according to Dr. Salihu Lukman, a former National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the North-West.
In a statement released on Tuesday under the heading “Illusive Politics: What is to be Done,” Lukman claimed that Saudi Tinubu’s administration has a history of making mistakes and changing course on policies.
After 25 years of democratic governance, the APC chairman bemoaned the fact that Nigeria had not yet produced leaders who were inclined to take the interests of the people into consideration.
He said: “Painfully, against every expectation that President Asiwaju Tinubu will reignite the Lagos success story at national level, his government is more and more creating doubts in the minds of Nigerians about the prospect of resolving the country’s challenges with incidences of policy missteps and reversals.
“As a result, crisis of insecurity has remained. Problems of inflation, unemployment and poverty are on the increase.
“If the hallmark of the tenure of former President Buhari is the trauma of dashed hopes for citizens, we must, as Nigerian citizens and as committed progressive politicians, wake up and remedy the ugly and despicable experience of illusive politics.
“After one year in office, the unmistaken message must be conveyed to President Asiwaju Tinubu and by extension all APC leaders that the democratic future of Nigeria is not negotiable.”
