Vice-chairman of the All Progressives Congress in the North-West, Salihu Lukman, has explained why he believes the Labour Party is more popular than other political parties in Nigeria, The Punch reported.
According to the APC chieftain, the party’s (Labour Party’s) popularity stems from the frustration of Nigerians with other political parties, including the ruling party, the APC.
This was contained in a statement, on Tuesday, and made available to journalists.
In his opinion, Nigerians are tired of the docility and lack of innovation characteristic of the ruling party, hence their resolve to seek a party with a vibrant and functional structure.
He noted that besides the usual structure already in existence for years, no brilliant structural adjustment or innovation has been initiated in the ruling APC.
He said, “In addition to these organs (NAC, NEC and national caucus), the amended APC constitution created three new structures, namely the women’s wing; youth wing and persons living with disabilities wing.
“Outside the initiatives of the presiding officers of these three structures — national women’s leader, national youth leader and national leader of persons living with disabilities—since April 2022, following the assumption of office of the Sen. Abdullahi Adamu-led NWC, nothing has been done to organise the women’s, youth and persons living with disabilities wings,” he added.
