TINUBU TAKING IMPULSIVE DECISIONS- APC EX EXECUTIVE

A former Vice-Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the North-West, Salihu Lukman, has accused President Bola Tinubu of making impulsive decisions.

Lukman, a former Director General of the Progressives Governors’ Forum, made the allegation in a statement on Saturday.

He also said since the assumption of office of the President on May 29, 2023, “major policy decisions have been taken impulsively without clearly defined plans, at least not shared with Nigerians”.

“Three good examples are the issue of removal of subsidy on petroleum products, floating the exchange rate of the Naira, and sanction against Niger Republic following the coup of July 26, 2023.

“Arguably, with respect to all these issues, it is as if government first announce decisions before beginning to think in terms of what needs to be done to manage the consequences that followed,” he stated.

Lukam said that had the government of President Tinubu come up with an articulated policy plan oriented to implement both the APC manifesto and Renewed Hope 2023, the government may have saved itself the problem of limiting itself to only reacting to challenges produced by its policies.

He alleged that the President has completely insulated himself from all structures of the party as a few party leaders have access to him.
