A former National Vice Chairman North-west of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Dr. Salihu Lukman has told party leaders and President Bola Tinubu to resist the temptation of towing the path of self-destruction by continuing to operate as a closed government.
Lukman in a statement issued Wednesday titled; “Burden of Leadership, Open Letter to APC Leaders,” said achieving that would require readiness on the part of all APC leaders to make all the sacrifices to regain their respect back based on which they emerged as leaders and not bosses.
He noted that it was very disappointing that the leaders have successfully created a party which has won three elections consecutively with hardly anything to show for it.
The party chief stressed that the only thing they could boast of are leaders who continue to manage the affairs of government exclusively in a mode of dictatorship.
He said: “Our leaders who led the merger negotiation to produce APC in 2013 owe it to Nigerians to call President Asiwaju Tinubu to order and get him to recover whatever is left of his democratic and progressive credentials.
“Both as APC and Nigerians, we all have a responsibility to make all the needed sacrifices to win President Asiwaju Tinubu administration back and put it on the path of emerging as an inclusive government managed by an envisioned progressive party, APC.
“APC leaders and President Asiwaju Tinubu must resist the temptation of towing the path of self-destruction by continuing to operate as a closed government. “
