Come Out With Evidence If You Think Tinubu’s Presidential Bid Was Sponsored By APC – Salihu Lukman

The National Vice Chairman of North-West, Salihu Lukman has come out to say that the ruling All Progressives Congress did not give President Bola Tinubu, governors and other candidates who contested the 2023 general election a dime to fund the electioneering campaign.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, unlike former President Muhammadu Buhari, who was fortunate to have people mobilised money for his election, the former Lagos governor singlehandedly funded his presidential rallies throughout the election period.

He added that he can boldly challenge anyone who thinks otherwise to come out with evidence that Tinubu was sponsored.

His words, “He (Tinubu) didn’t get a dime from the party. I challenge them. I’m making this public. Let them contradict me. Let them show evidence that that is not the case.”

“Look in 2015, the APC was truly a model party. In fact, a party to really copy. President Buhari doesn’t have money. There were people who were assigned the responsibility to raise money. It’s not like Asiwaju that people said have money. So there were people assigned with the responsibility of mobilising money for the party.”

“If anything was done in 2023 based on that, it would have been the initiative of Asiwaju. I am not aware of it as a party. If you remember, in-between we were busy causing distractions about what should be our roles in the APC Presidential Campaign Council.”

“Unless we are humble and honest to admit that these are things that ordinarily shouldn’t have happened and admit we need to correct them and reshape the relationship between us and the government that emerge, we would continue to have the problem we are having.”
