APC Can’t Continue Playing Politics With Restructuring– PGF DG

• The Director-General of the Progressives Governors Forum, Dr. Salihu Lukeman, on Saturday cautioned the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) against playing politics with the issue of restructuring Nigeria.
• He also noted that it behooves on the party to not only stay true to its promise on the issue but also take steps to implement the report of the Governor Nasir El-Rufai-led APC Committee on True Federalism.

This, he said, was a sure way of not only dousing the tension in our polity but also strengthening public confidence in the APC.

He said this in a paper titled, “Nigeria’s Volatile Politics and the APC Report on True Federalism, made public, in Abuja.

He said, “Given the fact that a good section of the leaders of the party who were in the defunct ACN were part of the political agitation in the country for restructuring and resource control, public expectation was high in terms of the kind of initiatives to be produced by the APC government.

“Although details of the commitment of the APC on matters of restructuring were outlined in the party’s manifesto, loose public interpretations of the specific commitment of the party to political restructuring have been subject of national debate.

“Unfortunately, as a party, very little was done to popularise the true details of what the APC position and commitment to restructuring are.

“To some extent, this has resulted in some unfortunate campaigns against the APC, its leadership and especially the APC controlled Federal Government led by President Muhammadu Buhari since its inauguration in May 2.”
