Salihu Lukman, a former National Vice Chairman (Northwest) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has called on former President Olusegun Obasanjo to rally past Nigerian leaders in forming a new political party capable of challenging President Bola Tinubu and the APC in the 2027 general election.
Lukman made the appeal in an open letter to Obasanjo, responding to a recent statement attributed to the former president, in which he remarked that “a leader made by Satan is bound to fail, while God’s chosen one will thrive.”
In his letter, Lukman urged Obasanjo, alongside other former leaders, to unite the opposition to foster political change in Nigeria. He specifically named former Presidents Muhammadu Buhari, Goodluck Jonathan, and Generals Yakubu Gowon, Ibrahim Babangida, and Abdulsalami Abubakar as having a moral obligation to address the nation’s leadership crisis.
