The erstwhile national Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Salihu Lukman, has offered further explanations into why he resigned as a member of the party national working Committee on Wednesday.
Lukman in a statement entitled, “Resignation from APC NWC: Explanatory Note,” insisted that the forum of governors on the platform of the party, the Progressives Governors Forum, is becoming too high-handed and overbearing for the progress of the ruling party.
Lukman also expressed strong reservations about the dominant thinking in the party where whatever is attributed to President Bola Tinubu on party matters is taken as the law without recourse to the provisions of the APC Constitution.
