Salihu Lukman, a former National Vice Chairman (North West) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said that he is ready to challenge any members of the party including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that nothing has been delivered as regards the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Lukman stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
According to his, things are getting worse under the president because there are more ungoverned spaces.
Lukman added that he was being critical of the APC because he cared about Nigeria.

He said, “If we elect leaders, based on promises they made, for example the main promise of Asiwaju is Renewed Hope. Things are contained there. You read it. I am ready to challenge anybody including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to let them produce evidence of delivery based on that document of Renewed Hope. Nothing has been delivered.”
Lukman stated that his criticism of Tinubu was not based on tribe or region as some people insinuated
He said, “I feel agitated when people begin to reduce this thing to a regional issue. I fought Abduulahi Adamu when he was the national chairman. For goodness sake, he is from the north. If I want to play that ethnic card, I would just keep quiet. I would have been in the National Working Committee, maybe with all the privileges. There are privileges.
“I made that conscious choice. That is because I didn’t come from the background where my mission in politics is about survival. As a person, I believe I can survive without holding a political position.”
