2023: "My fears if APC wins" - Salihu Lukman
When asked about his fears of APC’s weaknesses and strength ahead of the 2023 elections, Salihu stated that his major fears are how the party can strengthen accountability and the capacity of the party to influence the initiative of elected officials.
He said:
"I have argued and I am still arguing that for us in the APC, what is required is for us to have the honesty to review and look at what we promised between 2015 and 2019.
"What are the gaps, and, of course, there are gaps that exist? What is it that needs to be done in order to address those gaps?"
Salihu, however, admitted that the APC is going through a lot of challenges which he described as human challenges.
He urged people, especially the opposition to desist from politicizing it for their own selfish interest instead of helping to combat the challenges.
