Al-Makura was loyal to Tinubu yet, he opted for someone with several corruption cases- Salihu Lukman

According to a news that was published by The Nigerian Tribune paper Online this afternoon, it was reported that the former national vice-chairman, North-West geopolitical zone of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Salihu Lukman, has raised concern over what he called disturbing signals in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, and his influence on All Progressives Congress’ matters.

It was reported that in the open letter that was addressed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which was entitled, “Disturbing Signals: Open Letter to President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” the former member of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) declared that the emergence of the former Kano state governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, as National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, was a startling revelation that the present administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu has no commitment to prosecute the anti-graft war.

While he was talking, he said, “Given that Sen. Umaru Tanko Al-Makura is from Nasarawa State, and he has been very loyal to you, it was scandalous that you will opt for Doctor Umar Abdullahi Ganduje with all the baggage of corruption allegation against him. Al-Makura was loyal to Tinubu yet, he opted for someone with several corruption cases.

Recall that before the March 2022 All Progressives Congress’ National Convention, Senator Al-Makura, aspired to become the party’s National Chairman, and former President Muhammadu Buhari was influenced to nominate Senator Adamu over Senator Al-Makura partly, because he was alleged to be loyal you. This defies every logical reasoning that you will ignore provision of Article 31.5(i) to nominate Doctor Umar Abdullahi Ganduje even when the same provision of the constitution was used to nominate Senator Basiru Ajibola from Osun State as replacement of Senator Iyiola Omisore.”
