The All Progressives Congress (APC) for North-West has witnessed another high-profile resignation, as Mallam Salihu Lukman, the National Vice Chairman, officially stepped down from his position. The resignation letter was delivered to Senator Abubakar Kyari, the Acting National Chairman of the party, on Wednesday.
This development comes shortly after the former National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, and the National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, also tendered their resignations within the past week.
In his resignation letter, which was obtained by our correspondent, Lukman cited his decision to leave the party based on alleged illegal activities and interference in the party's affairs. He expressed concern that these actions were not aligned with the original vision of the party's founders.
Lukman explained that he chose to resign rather than continue his agitation within the party and risk being viewed as a distraction. The Kaduna politician stated, "Rather than remaining in the leadership of the party and becoming a source of distraction for leaders, and especially for the young government of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, it is better to excuse myself and take time off from politics."
He added that while stepping down from his position, he would retain his membership in the hope that the party's leaders, especially President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, would reconsider any unjust and illegal actions, which are essential for maintaining a claim of being democratic and progressive.
Lukman also expressed his appreciation to former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, for nominating him and supporting him throughout his tenure. He pledged to continue supporting the party in any way he can, even though he will now operate from the background.
With this latest resignation, the APC faces further challenges in its internal dynamics, and the party's leadership will need to address these concerns to maintain unity and focus.
