Lukman voiced this caution on Wednesday in Abuja during a press briefing held in anticipation of the launch of his new book scheduled for the following Tuesday.
He expressed concern that the party is on the brink of experiencing internal rebellion if no measures are taken to address the current state of affairs in the country. The APC stalwart expressed his disappointment over the increasing difficulties faced by citizens under a party that was originally conceived to be progressive.
Lukman stated, “Life is becoming more difficult. We must appeal to our leaders that things are almost getting out of hand at the rate at which we are going under a party that is envisioned to be progressive.
He further warned, “We are likely going to start witnessing rebellion if care is not taken by 2027. We will be kicked out of office, which means taking Nigeria back to where it was in 2015. I think we owe our leader the responsibility or President Asiwaju the responsibility to tell him the honest truth.”
Following his resignation from the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, Lukman decided to chronicle his experiences in the struggle that led to the emergence of President Bola Tinubu.
Contrary to certain insinuations, he clarified that he did not rebel against Tinubu. Instead, he believes he must convey the truth to the President, regardless of the circumstances.
