Salihu Lukman, the former National Vice Chairman (Northwest) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), recently criticized President Bola Tinubu for being inaccessible. In a statement on Tuesday, September 17, Lukman controversially claimed that the late military ruler General Sani Abacha was more accessible than the current president.
Lukman expressed his frustration with Tinubu's leadership style and went a step further by urging former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Ibrahim Babangida, along with retired General Aliyu Gusau, to devise new strategies aimed at dislodging the APC from power in the 2027 elections.
He said Nigerians are currently facing an existential crisis because the nation’s democracy is in the "Intensive Care Unit, ICU."
“More than at any time in the history of Nigeria, citizens are being impoverished on an alarming scale. Since May 29, 2023, when President Asiwaju took over, it has been a downward slide for Nigerians. Being a democratic government, the expectation would have been that President Tinubu will be more accessible. Alas, he is proving to be the most inaccessible leader of Nigeria.
Even late General Sani Abacha was by far more accessible. All previous military governments are turning out to be much more open to consultations and receptive to recommendations from Nigerians than the government of President Asiwaju Tinubu.
As President of the Federal Republic, President Asiwaju Tinubu is showing his worst side. Some of the key projects of the last government have been abandoned.
A good example is Kaduna-Abuja Road, which is becoming a death trap. But without any budgetary provision, a new project of more than N15 trillion, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, started.
Meanwhile, public investment towards addressing the challenges of insecurity is at best business as usual. And the crisis of insecurity is reduced to ceremonial show of shame and public lamentations by leaders,” he stated.
