A fresh crisis has broken in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) even as a member of the National Working Committee (NWC), Mallam Salihu Moh Lukman has demanded that the National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu should render account of funds generated and spent in the last one year.
Lukman, who is the National Vice Chairman (North West), particularly accused the Adamu-led NWC of rendering the party organs prostrate since assuming office in 2022.
In a statement in Abuja, which he personally signed, Lukman cited the refusal by the Adamu-led NWC to convene National Executive Council (NEC), national caucus meeting, give quarterly financial reports to NEC and inaugurate the Board of Trustees, now christened National Advisory Council, meeting as some of the alleged infractions he has committed within the last one year.
Lukman in a piece titled said: “Asiwaju Tinubu cannot afford to assume office with the baggage of being a leader of an autocratic and retrogressive APC, which is insensitive to ethnic and religious tension in the country, largely compounded by our inability to regulate the conduct of our Senators-elect and House of Representatives members-elect. Everything must be done to return our party to its founding vision of engendering progressive politics in the country, which is about equitable distribution of power and resources in the country.
“It is disappointing that one year since our election into the NWC, we have been running the party based on the old mindset of disregard for allowing organs of the party to guide decisions and appropriately allow for wider input by members and leaders of the party in decision-making process. This must change urgently”!
