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 Tinubus 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.
Or, why shouldnt they aspire to register their name as political leaders who were able to rise to the occasion in Nigerias hour of national need by coming together to forge a united political front, which could transform Nigerias democracy and reverse the phenomenon of state capture that produced small corrupt groups of used government officials who are appropriating government decision-making to strengthen their own economic positions?, He queried.
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.
