A former Vice Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Salihu Lukman says Nigerians who are still hopeful that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu can transform the country are doing so at their own peril.
The former APC chieftain made the remark on Sunday while featuring in Inside Source, a programme anchored by Laolu Akande, a former presidential spokesman.
Lukman, a staunch critic of the president said he has completely lost hopes in the Tinubu administration, citing for instance, that he no longer believe in Tinubu’s progressives credentials.
He said he had expected Tinubu to transform the country like he did in Lagos while he was governor in the state, saying he has been left disappointed, noting that it took him a long time to realise that Tinubu has nothing to offer the country.
He added that he has now joined the coalition of opposition parties in the country planning to wrest power from President Tinubu in the next election.
Tinubu was Governor of Lagos state between 1999 and 2007, and has been credited with the milestone transformations of the state. Though his critics insist that much transformation in the state were experienced under his predecessors.
According to Lukman, “For you to even expect something very wonderful to happen before May 2027, I will say you are a dreamer, I will wish you luck in your dream, but if it happens, it will be a pleasant surprise.
“For me, I have reached the conclusion that I don’t think anything good is going to come out and which is why we have to start organising. I have said so, this country can be fixed in our lifetime, and I pray to God to give us the strength and courage to engage our leaders.”
