And that, in a way, made politicians lazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the current political reality required politicians, especially those in opposition, to embrace humility, collaboration and issue-based engagement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have anybody with that kind of intimidating profile anymore,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat that means is that all leaders of the coalition need to be humble and acknowledge their dependence on one another. That\u2019s how to build the teamwork we need to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him, defeating the APC or President Bola Tinubu is not the only objective of opposition leaders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s about building a new political platform that genuinely connects with citizens and offers a credible alternative,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lukman had earlier appeared on Channels Television, where he criticised politicians for neglecting grassroots relationships during Buhari\u2019s reign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey concentrated more on being in Buhari\u2019s good books, rather than building trust and negotiating with citizens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that Buhari is no longer in the picture, politicians must listen more, engage better, and fulfil their campaign promises.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He warned that arrogance and entitlement would no longer guarantee electoral success in the current dispensation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExcept they want to rig, politicians must relate to citizens with a higher level of humility instead of the current arrogance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lukman described Buhari as one of the most influential politicians in northern Nigeria and credited him with shaping the 2013 APC merger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn contemporary Nigerian politics, Buhari stood out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis popularity helped make the APC a reality. But that era is gone.
