 Salihu Lukman Loses Faith in Tinubu’s Leadership, Urges Strong Opposition Coalition


Salihu Lukman, a former National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has publicly expressed his disillusionment with President Bola Tinubu, stating he no longer believes the President can deliver significant achievements before his term ends in May 2027. In a candid statement, Lukman described Tinubu’s leadership as a departure from the progressive ideals he once associated with the President’s tenure as Lagos State Governor from 1999 to 2007.


“For you to expect something very wonderful to happen before May 2027, you are a dreamer. I wish you luck, but if it happens, it will be a pleasant surprise,” Lukman said. He revealed that he withdrew his support for Tinubu in July 2024 after waiting for the President to correct the missteps of his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari. Instead, Lukman argued, Tinubu’s governance has been so underwhelming that it has inadvertently cast Buhari as a “hero” in comparison.


Lukman criticized Tinubu for isolating himself, even within the APC, noting that “nobody has access to him.” He attributed the APC’s failures to the party’s neglect, a mistake he insisted must not be repeated in the emerging opposition coalition. “We got it wrong in APC because we sacrificed the party,” he said, emphasizing the need for a new coalition built on a strong, principled foundation to avoid “business as usual.”


Calling for urgent action, Lukman urged Nigerians to organize and engage leaders to fix the country. “This country can be fixed in our lifetime, and I pray to God to give us the strength and courage,” he said. He stressed that the coalition currently in formation must prioritize accountability and deliver on its promises to restore public trust. “We owe it to Nigerians,” Lukman added, underscoring the coalition’s potential to address Nigeria’s challenges if properly structured.
