However, the APC’s national legal adviser, Ahmad El-Marzuq recommended Lukman’s expulsion from the party for suing the party.

In response, Lukman insists that the APC’s constitution does not give the National Working Committee (NWC) the power to discipline any member of the party.

He says, “There is nowhere in the APC Constitution where the NWC is given the power to discipline any member of the party.”

Lukman argued that his legal action is necessary to restore Constitutional order in the APC. He also criticizes the national legal adviser for his biased opinion, stating that he will proceed with the legal action up to the supreme court.
