Develop Alternative Platform or Fail, Lukman Tells Opposition Leaders

A Former National Vice Chairman of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Salihu Lukman says the attitude of opposition leaders might make it difficult to change the government of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

Lukman, who made this known in a statement, on Monday, noted that although it was a shared concern among these leaders that the situation in the country has deteriorated, there was hardly any definitive engagement with the clear objective of mobilizing Nigerians to effect a change in 2027.

According to him, opposition leaders must develop an alternative political platform by December 2024 if they were to wrest power from Tinubu and the APC.

The former APC chieftain noted that Nigerians were going through very harsh and excruciating conditions, adding that since the commencement of the fourth republic, it has been a case of progressive degeneration that invariably brought the country to its knees whereby public resources are now practically the private resources of so-called elected leaders.

He pointed out that developing alternative political platforms in the country should be about restoring the virtue of selflessness among political leaders.

Lukman emphasized that opposition political leaders must recognize the urgency requiring strategic initiative to produce the alternative political platform to rescue Nigeria.

‘It has become necessary to draw the attention of opposition political leaders in the country that the current care-free or unserious disposition could produce the disastrous outcome whereby Nigerians may be unable to change the government of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027’

‘The reality is that if by the end of December 2024, no structured engagement has commenced based on strategic initiative to develop the alternative political platform, oriented based on selfless disposition of opposition political leaders, it simply means that any opposition to APC and President Asiwaju Tinubu in 2027 will be based on personal ambitions of individual political leaders.”

He adds that so long as relationship among political leaders in the country was limited to support for personal ambition to emerge as candidates, it signposted a looming danger and prospect of producing a government worse than the current one.
