Lukman in a statement on Wednesday, May 31st, in Abuja, said one of the failures of the APC administration since winning the presidency in 2015 was allowing many officials appointed by the government under Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to remain in the service of the federal government.
Lukman, a member of the APC National Working Commitee (NWC) said, “If the truth must be said, as a party, we didn’t manage electoral victory very well. Since 2015, after winning the presidential elections, we allowed many PDP appointees to remain in the service of the federal government, including Mr. Godwin Emefiele who was inherited as CBN governor.
“This has produced some gaps in terms of policy implementation aimed at achieving campaign promises. There is also the case of allowing appointees to remain in office even when they failed to meet expectations."
