A former National Vice Chairman, North-west of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Salihu Lukman has quit the party.
Lukman said his decision to resign from the ruling party was because President Bola Tinubu was not ready to allow internal reforms in the party to return it to its founding vision hence, his membership of the party had been rendered useless and there was no need for him to continue to impose himself.
Lukman in a letter to selected party leaders in Abuja yesterday, decried President Tinubu’s intolerance to criticisms and anti-people policies which he said were completely contradictory to his campaign document, ‘Renewed Hope’.
The former DG of Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) lamented that President Tinubu had become inaccessible to many party leaders. Lukman added that the pain of admitting it was beyond description, stressing that President Tinubu reduced them to what he described as the despicable reality. According to him, It is far more painful, given that party leaders had been cowed to silence. “No one wants to take the risk of being on the wrong side of the President. I have spent the last year advocating for internal reform,” he said.
