One of the most controversial decisions taken by President Tinubu, according to Lukman, was the declaration of an immediate end to fuel subsidies without planning and preparation. This, he said, has led to a significant worsening of living conditions, and the absence of a plan to respond to emerging challenges.

Lukman also criticized the government’s spending priorities, which allocated 15 trillion naira for the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway and ignored urgent needs in education and health.

He said that allocations for education were not enough to address the critical problem of out-of-school children, who currently number 10 million in North Korea.

The former APC deputy chairman warned that the party’s continuation of “business as usual” could lead to a worse situation, and by the end of the year, the people may be forced to support any leader out of anger and frustration, potentially electing a worse replacement. to President Tinubu.

Lukman’s comments highlight the deep frustration within the APC and the need for a new approach to address the country’s existing challenges. His criticism echoes the sentiments of many Nigerians who feel that the party has failed to deliver on its promises and that a new direction is needed to address the country’s pressing problems.
