Ganduje’s Appointment As APC National Chairman Not The Right Decision – Lukman

The former National Vice Chairman (North-West) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Salihu Lukman on Tuesday spoke on the emergence of ex-governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje as the National Chairman of the party.

According to Lukman, the decision to elect Ganduje as National Chairman of the ruling party is incorrect.

He, however, affirmed that his loyalty lies with the ruling party.

This is coming days after Lukman resigned from his office, noting that he would rather not become a source of distraction to President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Speaking on Channels TV on Tuesday, Lukman who described Ganduje as a leader both in APC and in the North-West said, “I respect him.

“Dr. Ganduje has emerged as the chairman of the party and I’m loyal; I respect it. But I disagree, it is not the right decision. That we’re living with a wrong decision is a different matter entirely.

“But as progressive politicians, we must have the commitment to continue to engage the issue such that we, collectively, are able to correct any wrong decision that has been taken.”

The former APC National Executive Committee members argued that the office of the APC National Chairman should have been reserved for a Christian from the North Central to balance out the Muslim-Muslim presidency.
