Tinubu has his strengths and limitations, says Lukman

Lukman emphasised that overcoming challenges such as the caretaker committee and securing Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the presidential candidate would have been considerably more challenging without internal party struggles.

He said:

"Asiwaju is like any one of us, he is a human being. He has his strengths, he has his limitation.
"So we must remain committed so that when we see he's not doing the right thing, we draw his attention.
"A situation where all of us become sycophantic, and everything he does is right. We must not get to that."
