A former national vice chairman, North West of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Salihu Lukman, has said former vice president Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso inability to commence proper political negotiations was emboldening President Bola Tinubu to continue with what he termed “his crazy impulsive visionless governance experiment” unperturbed with the harsh realities it had created for Nigerians.
Lukman in a statement yesterday said somehow, unknown or unaware to key political opposition leaders, the strength or confidence of Tinubu was derived from their inability to open themselves and honestly commence negotiations to build a united front ahead of 2027.
He said key opposition political leaders, Atiku, Obi and Kwankwaso had paid their dues and were still actively nursing ambitions to become president.
“To be fair to them, they all agree that the performance of President Tinubu since his assumption of office has been disastrous. Unfortunately, their agreement falls short of making them accept to work together towards building a common platform capable of mobilising and uniting Nigerians to defeat Tinubu and the APC in 2027.
“It is quite worrisome that notwithstanding the dangers before the nation, our key opposition leaders believe in business-as-usual approach to politics whereby the most important thing in politics is the management of their personal ambitions to become president.
Lukaman appealed to the key opposition leaders to wake up and try to be compassionate and appreciate the gravity of the dare-heart situation facing citizens and work to dislodge the APC-led administration of Tinunu in 2027.
