<h2>A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/01/02/no-political-party-in-nigeria-is-functional-ex-apc-vice-chairman-salihu-lukman/">Salihu Lukman</a>, has said the ruling party is creating an atmosphere for its “electoral funeral”.</h2>
<p>In a statement on Sunday, Lukman said APC leaders must be reminded that the party would be prone to electoral defeat if they do not adhere to calls for a leadership change.</p>
<p>The former vice chairman of the party said the refusal to listen to internal voices led to the formation of the new Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) in 2013.</p>
<p>He said: “<em>Painfully, in the process, a party that emerged with so much promise, APC, winning the support of Nigerians is almost destroyed and on a daily basis creating conditions for its own electoral funeral.</em></p>
<p><em>“As loyal members of the APC, we must remind our leaders that parties become more prone to electoral defeat when they resist or block internal pressures for leadership change.</em></p>
<p><em>“APC’s electoral victory in 2015, for instance, could be partly explained based on the refusal of PDP leadership to recognise and respect the yearnings of party members and leaders.</em></p>
<p><em>“It was the inability to respect internal yearnings for change that produced the splinter group of New PDP, which eventually joined the merger that produced APC in 2013.</em>”</p>
<p>Lukman said President Bola Tinubu and former APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, who fought for democracy in the 90s, should ensure that Nigeria’s political parties are truly democratic.</p>
<p>He added: “<em>Being leaders of APC, APC must emerge as a distinctly democratic party based on abiding respect for rule of law, which should be well reflected in a strong commitment to manage affairs of the party based on compliance with provisions of the APC.</em></p>
<p><em>“Anything short of this, will diminish the credentials of our leaders, including President Asiwaju Tinubu and Comrade Oshiomhole.”</em></p>
