In a letter dated July 26 and addressed to the party’s acting national chairman, Senator Abubakar Kyari, Lukman cited the reason for his resignation as the party's deviation from the vision of its founding fathers. He expressed concern about the atmosphere within the party and its future direction.
In his letter, Lukman raised objections to the possible replacement of Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the former National Chairman of the APC, with former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje. He referred to this prospect as "suicidal," hinting that such a change in leadership could have negative consequences for the party.
The details of Lukman's resignation and the specific reasons for his concerns have not been fully disclosed yet. However, his decision to step down as the national vice chairman (North West) highlights the internal challenges and conflicts within the ruling party.
