In acknowledging the government’s shortcomings, Lukman admitted that APC’s performance on key campaign promises like security, economic stability, and anti-corruption, has been poor. He admitted that he was hopeful and believed that the new leadership would depart from the practices of the previous administration under President Buhari. Instead, there’s a continuation of the same ineffective strategies.
“I admit that in terms of meeting up with our campaign promises, we have done badly, no doubt about it. And what are those campaign promises? Issues of security, issues of the economy, issues of fighting corruption. We have done badly and people are free to reach the conclusion whether APC is worse than PDP or not. But as at 2023, before the election, I had the hope that because our leaders were not in denial of the challenges facing us, they would be humble enough to admit that we have not done what we needed to do between 2015 and 2023 and that’s what I was practically very very confident that he will not really do business as usual the way president Buhari did.
