APC governors that they should allow him to pick his successor.<\/a><\/p>\nBut Lukman, in an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in Abuja, said the move would destroy the president\u2019s revered statue.<\/p>\n
The letter was titled: \u201cSuccession and 2023 APC Presidential Candidate: Open Letter to President Muhammadu Buhari\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the consultative meeting with Progressive Governors on Tuesday, the president had spoken of the internal policies of the APC which allowed first term governors who have served credibly well to stand for re-election.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd second term governors accorded the privilege of promoting successors that are capable of driving their visions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe president, therefore, solicited for reciprocity and support of governors and other stakeholders in picking his successor who would fly the flag of our party for election into the office of the president in 2023,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Lukman noted that ordinarily, this should not be a problem as both party members and leaders would always trust the president\u2019s judgment.<\/p>\n
He said the big worry was, however, whether loyal party leaders and members should just reduce themselves to ordinary observers when sensitive issues were being discussed.<\/p>\n
Lukman said it was important therefore to caution the APC to keep faith with basic tenets of democracy as its major campaign message to Nigerians for the 2023 elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was eloquently highlighted in Your Excellency\u2019s message to our Progressive Governors when you stated that the key to electoral successes is the ability to hold consultations and for members to put the nation above other interests.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the risk of again being projected to be against some party leaders, I want to appeal to all party leaders to unite in showing restraint at this point of transition.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to strongly appeal to Your Excellency to kindly continue to make every sacrifice necessary to provide measured leadership to our party and our nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour revered status was earned not by following so-called conventions, which have narrowed our democracy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He recalled that Buhari had always summoned the courage to initiate leadership responses that were selfless based on commitment to principles of justice and equity.<\/p>\n
Lukman prayed that Allah would guide Buhari into taking the right decisions that would broaden the democratic scope in the APC and endear it to Nigerians to facilitate its electoral victory in 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike in the case of December 10, 2014 APC National Convention, everything will be done at the June 6, 2022 convention to guarantee level playing field for all aspiring presidential candidates of our party.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny recommendation to the contrary will be inimical and injurious to the electoral fortunes of our great party, APC.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe temptation for leaders to choose their successors is democratically risky and very costly,\u201d Mr Lukman, who was a former Director-General of the Progressive Governors\u2019 Forum (PGF), stressed.<\/p>\n
He added that if in 2013 and 2014, Mr Buhari could submit himself to the internal democratic process, it was therefore important that his successor also followed the same process.<\/p>\n
He explained that a major disadvantage with succession arrangement whereby governors chose their successors was that it negatively affected the relationship between the successor and the predecessor.<\/p>\n
This, he said, undermined the capacity to influence actions or inactions of successors by their predecessors.<\/p>\n
Lukman, therefore, advised Buhari on the need to be conscious of his legacies and avoid falling into the temptation of unilaterally picking his successor.<\/p>\n
He stressed that it would be democratically risky and very costly to allow the president to do so<\/p>\n
Lukman appealed to Buhari not to copy what he described as anti-democratic credentials of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who foisted his successor, late President Umaru Musa Yar\u2019Adua, on his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
