Former APC Chieftain Knocks Tinubu, Says He’s Equally Responsible for Buhari’s Failure

Former North-West National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Salihu Lukman, has slammed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for making excuses about the current hardship in the country.

Lukman, in a statement issued in Abuja on Monday, also faulted those blaming former President Muhammadu Buhari for the current hardship Nigerians are going through.

You will recall that a few weeks ago, the Ogun state governor, Dapo Abiodun and National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, said President Tinubu inherited a bankrupt country and an almost comatose administration, respectively.

However, the former Director General of APC Progressive Governors Forum further maintained that instead of blaming Buhari, APC leaders, including Tinubu should take responsibility for the ex-president’s failure and take the needed initiative to improve Nigerians’ lives.

The APC chieftain urged Tinubu to admit that the current hardship is primarily due to fuel subsidy removal and floating the Naira against other major currencies without proper planning.

Lukman warned that the APC government cannot ‘Renew the Hope’ of Nigerians by giving excuses.

He noted that Nigerians voted the APC and President Tinubu in the last general elections very consciously and confident that under the leadership of President Tinubu the challenges facing the country will be addressed.
