According to The Sun, Lukman stated that virtually all governments at every level have been captured by so-called elected leaders who operate more like Yahoo-Yahoo fraudsters, diverting public resources and assets to their private use. He added that problems of insecurity in the country, which are a byproduct of the crisis of poverty, unemployment, and substance abuse among young people, are hardly getting the deserved attention of elected leaders.

In his own words, he remarked, "Instead, virtually governments, at all levels, have been captured by so-called elected leaders that operate more like Yahoo-Yahoo fraudsters diverting public resources and assets to their private use. Problems of insecurity in the country, which is a byproduct of the crisis of poverty, unemployment, drugs and substance abuse among young people, are hardly getting the deserved attention of elected leaders."
