Lukman emphasized that for the APC to regain its credibility, it must be challenged and forced to reform. He argued that the party’s current confidence in winning upcoming elections stems not from strength, but from the opposition’s inability to unite and present a coherent alternative. “They are so confident of victory because the opposition has failed to get its act together,” he said.
His remarks come amid growing concerns about the state of democracy within Nigeria’s major political parties, especially as the country prepares for critical elections. The absence of regular party meetings and decision-making processes raises questions about transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness in the APC’s operations.
By highlighting these structural failures, Lukman is calling attention to deeper issues that could affect the party’s long-term viability and its role in Nigeria’s democratic development. His comments may spark further debate within the political space, particularly among members and observers who advocate for stronger party institutions.
As Nigeria continues to navigate its political landscape, the need for functional, democratic party systems remains crucial. Lukman’s critique serves as a reminder that without active participation and adherence to constitutional rules, even the most powerful political parties risk becoming irrelevant or dysfunctional.
