Former All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Salihu Lukman has declared that certain monarchical systems of government are preferable to the current state of the ruling party, arguing that none of its democratic structures are functioning.
Speaking in an interview on Trust TV on Monday, Lukman said he once believed President Bola Tinubu and the APC were committed democrats ahead of the 2023 elections.
“But now some monarchies are better,” he stated. “There is no structure of democracy that is functioning in the APC.”
A monarchy is a system in which a single individual, such as a king or queen, serves as head of state.
Lukman, who left the APC, briefly joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and later suspended his membership of that party, criticised the APC’s internal operations.
He noted that the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) is required by its constitution to meet every three months, yet it may not have convened for about six months.
Other party organs, he added, are equally inactive.“Ask yourself, when last you heard the party meeting?” he said. “If the APC wants to wake up and become functional and start doing the right thing, fine. But for them to wake up, they need to be challenged.”
He further accused the ruling party of overconfidence ahead of the 2027 elections, attributing it to the opposition’s failure to organise effectively and present a credible challenge.
