Your hunger for attention is insatiable APC blasts Lukman

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has blasted the former national Vice president North-West, Salihu Lukman for seeking political relevance.

The party in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka said the manner Lukman is seeking for attention is insatiable.

The statement reads: Since his exit as a National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lukman has been sleepless in search of political relevance.

” He seems to have found for himself, for now, a new role as the chief discordant trumpeter for a cacophonous political opposition.

” In his new self-assigned role, he alleges, without substantiation, that APC “ruined the country in economic policies and corruption” and called on opposition parties and Nigerians to vote out APC in 2027.

” Such an empty and outlandish allegation is undeserving of any response especially coming from a displaced political gaslighter.

” One day, Lukman claims to be a progressive committed to fixing the People Democratic Party’s (PDP) 16 years of rot, another day, he proclaims abiding faith in the capacity of the PDP and decadent political opposition to save Nigeria. Lacking conviction, or staying power to justify any cause, Lukman is not in any position to advise Nigerians on how to vote or who to vote for.

“Lukman’s history is one of opportunistic politicking, consistently prioritizing his personal ego and interests over the interest of any and all institutions he has ever served. With a highly solipsistic disposition, Lukman is always right, never wrong, wallowing in his bubble of self importance while deprecating group and national interests. His latest call for opposition leaders to unite against the APC is a calculated move to cobble political relevance, divert attention from the administration’s substantial progress, and further his own selfish agenda. Lukman is simply a cantankerous political rodomont.

“It is ludicrous to tout opposition PDP and Labour Party (LP) that cannot even manage their own internal affairs as capable of offering responsible and visionary leadership to Nigeria.

” The same opposition parties that Lukman devoted a good number of years lampooning as inept, chronically corrupt, unpatriotic and destructive to our democracy. It takes an overdose of blinding self interest to vacillate between extremes without reason or rationality. In all of his painfully verbose Sisyphean letters to the Greek gods, Lukman has not explained to Nigerians why he believes as he believes in the failed opposition parties.

The party urged Nigerians to remain focused and undistracted by the opposition’s pettiness and disinformation, and to continue to support President Tinubu in his commitment to building greater progress and a more vibrant future for our country.
