A former National Vice Chairman, North-west of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Dr. Salihu Lukman has lamented that the administration of President Bola Tinubu lacks direction.
Lukman, in a statement issued Sunday titled, “Heartbreaking Reflections”, decried that conditions of life were crashing daily, adding that it was very difficult to reconcile today’s reality with all the campaign promises made.
He said for weeks, he had pondered on why pro-democracy activists and civil societies fought against the military.
The party chieftain said though, the need to have constitutional rule, which guarantees the right of citizens to elect their leaders cannot be wished away, but when constitutional rule fails to produce responsive governments in terms addressing challenges facing citizens, democracy becomes elusive.
He added that of what value is democracy when elected leaders cannot solve the problems of citizens.
Lukman noted: “Although, today, we have an elected government with President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President, it is difficult to predict the direction Nigeria is going.
“Almost every action of the administration of President Asiwaju Tinubu is reduced to political convenience, often with hardly any clear logic other than exercising the power to make decisions, which cannot be substantiated with reference to reasons.
“As a result, conditions of life are crashing daily. Being a loyal member of the APC and supporter of President Asiwaju Tinubu, it is very difficult to reconcile today’s reality with all the campaign promises made.”
