A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and National Vice Chairman, North West, Salihu Mohammed Lukman, has asked the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to fulfil his campaign promises to Nigerians when he eventually resumes office on May 29.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had in the early hours of Wednesday enunciated Tinubu as winner of last Saturday’s presidential election.
In a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, Lukman, a former Director-General of the Progressives Governors ’ Forum (PGF), said the NWC and Nigerians should hold Tinubu responsible on his campaign pledges.

He also asked the President-elect to prevail on the NWC led by the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, to be more accountable, adding that a situation whereby the NWC will continue to refuse to convene meetings of the National Executive Committee (NEC) as provided in the constitution of the party is inferior.
Part of the statement reads,“ Both as Nigerians and as APC members, we will hold Asiwaju Tinubu responsible on these scores. Congratulations Asiwaju Tinubu, congratulations APC leaders and members, and congratulations Nigerians!
