A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Salihu Lukman, has urged a former governor of Edo state, Adams Oshiomhole to stop blaming erstwhile President Muhammadu Buhari for the economic crisis plaguing the country.
Naija News recalls that Oshiomhole, during an appearance on Channels Television, had claimed that Nigerians are suffering due to the the long-term consequences of the former president’s “reckless policies.”
However, reacting to Oshiomhole claims via a statement issued in Abuja titled “APC and Question of Liability: Open Letter to APC Leaders,” Lukman stated that it would be uncharitable to make excuses for Tinubu.
He recalled protesting some of the policies, which he claimed were designed to dehumanise a population that was already in pain.
The APC chieftain insisted that all those in the leadership of APC including the incumbent president should be blamed for Buhari’s policies.
He said, “Sadly, instead of ruling with humility and reviewing policies when there is public outcry, they are grandstanding and giving excuses. They engage in the familiar blame games, attributing the consequences of government policies to the administration of former President Buhari. This is very uncharitable and dishonest, with due respect to our leaders.
“Certainly, the government of Buhari did not measure up to the expectations of party members and Nigerians in general. But we must take responsibility. The truth is that the success or failure of Buhari’s government represents the collective success or failure of APC as a party.
“All of us in the leadership of the APC, including Tinubu, were complicit in one way or the other to all the circumstances that contributed to the failure of Buhari.
