We must sanitise APC to retain power in 2023 – PGF DG

The Director-General of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF), Salihu Mohammed Lukman, has said leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) must sanitise the party in the process of its membership drive in order to sustain federal power beyond 2023.

Lukman in a statement on Friday, said the national leadership of the party should correct some of its actions for the party to wax stronger.

He said that sanitising the party included “gatekeeping” for the kind of individuals that should come into its fold, adding that the capacity to correct those wrong decisions is what the politics required and not some fantasies.

“No amount of declaration, whether with reference to values or ideology can develop our politics, our parties, our democracy and our nation. It is our capacity to get things done and especially get wrong actions corrected that can develop our politics, our party, our democracy and our nation.

“The issue of Mr. Fani-Kayode’s drifted attempt to join the APC is a clear instance of attempts to manipulate some of our leaders into accepting membership of someone who ought not to have been considered as member of our party. If that was the case in the past, it is better late than never to correct such a mistake.

“As party members, we were able to rise up to the challenge of engaging our leaders. Fortunately, we are able to gain the respect of our leaders and surely, moving forward, issues of who qualifies to be a member of our party will be clarified unambiguously.

“May be this could challenge the PDP and other parties in Nigeria to begin to address issues related to their failings.

“It is a process, not a once off action. If you don’t agree with this position, abusing the APC, its leadership or members, including this writer will change nothing,” he said
