Lukman Blames Opposition Leaders for Nigeria’s Political Struggles
Dr. Salihu Lukman, a former National Vice Chairman (North-West) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has criticized Nigeria’s opposition leaders, accusing them of playing a significant role in the country’s current political struggles.
In a statement released on Sunday, Lukman argued that many opposition figures and politically sidelined politicians contributed to the failures of past administrations.
He believes they should acknowledge their roles and step back rather than attempting to position themselves as alternatives to the current government.
“Based on their track records, many of these politicians would likely perform worse than former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan, Muhammadu Buhari, and even President Tinubu,” Lukman stated.
He described them as intolerant and unable to build strong political structures, leading to their loss of influence in their respective states.
Tonye Cole speaks out on Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s emergence and continuation as the Governor of Rivers State.
He shared his thoughts, saying the governor likely consulted with his close allies before making key decisions.
“My assumption is that the governor would have gone with his own close allies, discussed with them, and said that this is the best way, that he has to move forward for the next six months or thereabouts of his administration. I would assume that’s what he did.”
“But I am not in his chamber, so I wouldn’t know. But that’s what I would assume he would do.”
He added “But having taken the responsibility to come and finish his term, then he has to finish it in the way that allows him to govern. He can’t go back into fighting.”
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
