The former national vice chairman (North West) of the All Progressives Congress, Salihu Mohammed Lukman, has told President Tinubu in a letter to retrace his steps from illegalities.

An APC insider confirmed to the Daily Trust that Tinubu tipped Ganduje for the office of national chairman after the resignation of Abdullahi Adamu.

It was also reported that Lukman kicked against Abdullahi Umar Ganduje’s move as national chairman of the party.

In his letter dated July, Lukman said going with such a plan was against the interest of the founding fathers of the party.

“I hereby kindly resign my position as National Vice Chairman, North-West of our great party, All Progressives Congress (APC). My resignation is with immediate effect, which becomes necessary given my conviction that the atmosphere in the party is completely at variance with the founding vision of forming a progressive party.”

“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.

““I will however retain my membership of the party in the hope that our leaders, especially President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will retract from acts that will be unjust and illegal, which is crucial to any claim of being democratic or progressive whether as politicians or as patriotic Nigerians. I wish to convey my sincere gratitude to our leaders in Kaduna, especially Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai for finding me worthy of nomination to serve at the highest level of the party’s leadership.”
