In a paper titled “The End of Progressive Politics,” Mr. Lukman wrote that if the dissolution goes through, a stage-managed parliament will be formed to produce new party executives at all levels loyal to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister. I argued that it would be done. , Nyesom Wike.
Lukman, who was the immediate past national vice president of APC North, predicted that by 2027, Wike, who has already broken with Hubala, will produce an APC gubernatorial candidate for Rivers State.
He maintained that the APC currently established under the leadership of President Tinubu is not the APC that the founding fathers sold to Nigerians both in 2015 and 2023.
Lukman maintained that with Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje at the helm of party politics and a garrison brand of progressive politics played out, the issue of political divisions in the country would be entrenched.
He said, “APC’s strategy in Rivers State towards 2027 will further fragment the people of the state. Uniting political leaders in Rivers State on the idea that APC is a progressive party. Wike is a member of the APC, but President Asiwaju Tinubu’s garrison politics is likely to lead to a rift between Governor Amaechi and Mr. Barr. They will just try to take advantage of the current division. Wike.
“And Mr. Bahru, Wike will have to bear the political price of parting ways with his political godson, Chief Hubala. Even if Chief Hubala accomplishes all that he is supposed to achieve as governor of Rivers State. , President Asiwaju Tinubu’s garrison politics will eviscerate him.
“If all this comes to fruition under the leadership of President Awaju Tinubu, who is considered a progressive politician and a descendant of Chief Awolowo, Chief Awolowo will be buried in his grave. Even Chief MK O Abiola , it is difficult to understand many of the political decisions taken by President Asiwaju Tinubu in the past six months.
“As things stand, President Awaju Tinubu is effectively forcing Nigerians to bid farewell to progressive politics. With these realities, it is simply a matter of renewed efforts at all levels of the party loyal to Mr. Barr. This means that the APC organization in the FCT will also be dismantled in order to produce a new APC leader. Wike.
“And states where APC is led by those who may have opposed President Awaju Tinubu will be dissolved as well. APC leadership at all levels, starting with pushing Dr. Ganduje as national chairman. Once the stooge circle of imposition is complete, the next level of imposition will spread to all other democratic institutions, guaranteeing and confirming the supremacy of garrison politics.What does that mean? Whatever the political choice of the APC under the leadership of President Asiwaju Tinubu.”
He went on to argue that: “In the name of progressive politics, something must be done urgently to arrest the current trend towards garrison politics. -Whether President Tinubu will take the necessary steps to restore constitutional order and order the party to return to its founding vision of progressive politics of unity among party leaders and party leaders. .Nigerians, or the Nigerian Party, can also declare the end of progressive politics in Nigeria.
As long as the NWC’s decision to dissolve the party executive at all levels in Rivers State stands, it simply means that those who allegedly worked against President Awaju Tinubu during the 2023 elections will be expelled from the party. means.
“With such a declaration, a culture of candidate imposition will take over the APC at all levels. Elections will therefore no longer be based on popular vote. is produced only by the manipulative strategy of.
“The sooner all genuine APC leaders accept this new reality and begin the process of mobilization both within the party and at a broader level of national political mobilization, the better for the survival of democracy in the country. So if you catch one stitch in time, you can save nine people!”
