Salihu Lukman, a former National Vice Chairman (North-West) of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, has urged former President Olusegun Obasanjo to bring together some of the nation’s former leaders in order to bring the opposition together and form a new political party that will compete with President Bola Tinubu and the APC in the general election of 2027.
In an interview, Obasanjo was cited as saying that “a leader made by Satan is bound to fail, while God’s chosen one will thrive.” Lukman was responding to this statement.
The former APC mainstay claimed that Obasanjo and other former leaders, including Generals Yakubu Gowon, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida Abdulsalami Abubakar, and former President Goodluck Jonathan, had a great moral duty to unite all opposition political leaders in the nation in order to create a functional political party and produce godly leaders free of demonic traits.
Lukman stated in the open letter to Obasanjo: “Everything must be done to put Nigeria on the roadmap of producing Godly leaders.
“Leaders such as Your Excellency, together with Gen. Gowon, Gen. Babangida, Gen. Abdulsalam, former President Jonathan and former President Buhari have the huge moral obligation of engaging all opposition political leaders in the country to unite in order to produce a functional political party that can serve as the harbinger for the emergence of Godly leaders in the country.
“It is not enough to lament about the fact of Satanic leadership in the country. So long as Your Excellency and other past leaders fail to assert their moral authority in ways that can lead to the emergence of Godly leaders, it is as good as working for the second term of President Tinubu and his team of failed leaders at all levels with all the problems they created.
“Of course, it simply means preference for Satanic leaders.”
He asserts that Nigeria’s government will remain composed of people of the Satanic genotype as long as politics and governance are treated as a collection of cheerleaders.
Lukman went on to say, “With such makeup, acts of impunity will continue to drive politics and even if we produce new parties with different names, such parties will at best be PDP and APC cloned.
“That is exactly what destroyed APC with all the potentials it had in 2015. How can we as a nation change that? Is there any prospect that within the shortest time possible the process of political re-engineering to produce a functional party that can be activated to serve as the harbinger for the emergence of leaders with Godly genotype?
“Your Excellency, this is the crux of this open letter. I believe that within the shortest time possible the process of producing a functional political party, which can be the harbinger for the emergence of leaders with Godly genotype is possible.
“In fact, it has already commenced. However, there are risk factors that if left on their own can pollute the process and take us back to square one and end up with another cloned PDP/APC.
“Once that is the case, we may end up with worse leaders based on the Satanic logic. The biggest risk factor is the failure to humble all opposition political leaders and get them to unite under one political platform.”
