According to the report from the Vanguard, a former National Vice Chairman, Northwest, of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Salihu Moh. Lukman discussed the current political landscape, observing that while there are hints of political activities surrounding certain leaders, these have yet to develop into strong, organized political parties capable of effectively challenging the ruling APC and President Tinubu.
He emphasized the importance of such opposition for the health and future of Nigeria's democracy.
He reflected on the failures of the PDP, stating that the party's shortcomings in the past have contributed to the present challenges facing the country.
He argued that despite the PDP's failings in 2015, the current situation under the APC in 2024 has become even more problematic.
He suggested that it is crucial to honestly assess and learn from the mistakes of both political parties to address the nation's pressing issues.
He said, "Although, there are some indicative political activities taking place around some of these political leaders, it has not graduated to the level of commitment to build the kind of strong political parties capable of threatening the APC and President Asiwaju Tinubu, which is needed to guarantee the future of Nigerian democracy. What were the failings of the PDP? The failings of the PDP are reflected in the same way today’s challenges are manifesting. If the truth is to be told, whatever was the failings of PDP in 2015, it was less grievous than what it has become under APC in 2024."
