Real reason I suspended my ADC membership – Salihu Lukman

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Salihu Lukman, says he suspended his membership of the party out of frustration.

Lukman made this revelation on Friday when he featured on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.

He emphasised the need for unity among the ADC leaders to tackle the various challenges bedeviling Nigeria as a nation, noting that the focus should be on the country and not the party.

The former Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, said he was ready to rejoin the ADC if it leads to a collective effort to present a credible candidate that can gain Nigerians’ confidence, irrespective of party affiliation.

“I suspended my ADC membership out of frustration. I am not speaking as an ADC member because Nigeria is facing a serious challenge.

“Partisan politics will not get us out of the situation we are in. I am prepared to retain my ADC membership if it helps bring all the party’s leaders together, because Nigeria is bigger than the ADC,” he said.
