ABUJA — Former National Vice Chairman, North-West, of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Salihu Lukman, has lamented the growing wave of despondency in the country, urging some political leaders to unite and chase out President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
“Political leaders in Nigeria, notably Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Peter Obi, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Chief Rotimi Amaechi, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Sen. Ibikunle Amosun, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, etc. must answer the question as to whether they want to allow their narrow political ambitions continue to block the path to the democratic development of Nigeria.
He said unfortunately, given the advanced stage of ‘state capture’ at the federal level, most political leaders, including the leading opposition leaders, such as Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Peter Obi and Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso were all operating in isolation to one another.

The group, in a statement, appreciated the call on Atiku Abubakar to pick the Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, as his Vice-Presidential Candidate in 2027.
Describing the remarks by the Diri’s Angel that the Bayelsa governor would make a good pair for Atiku as a good observation, the group however, said there was a different plan for the Niger Delta region in 2027.
The group in the statement by its Secretary, George Miriki, said the region would no longer continue to play the second fiddle in the governance of the country by working to produce only a vice president.
