Speaking on Channels TV on Tuesday, Lukman appealed to all supporters of the various presidential aspirants to join hands with the coalition to rescue Nigeria from the hands of President Bola Tinubu.
He said, “Once the opposition leaders are divided, if by 2027 we present more than one candidate, it’s as much as granting victory to APC and President Asiwaju. So as much as possible, we must keep the opposition together, and in keeping the opposition together, it’s not about asking anybody to step down.
“And I appeal to the Obidients and other groups to really understand that the ADC and the coalition are the home for them. And they should come, and let’s build ourselves together.

“If Peter Obi emerges as the presidential candidate of ADC, we will all support him and strengthen him to overcome the shortcomings of the past.
“So also, any other, if it is Atiku Abubakar that emerges, for instance, we will support him and strengthen him in such a way that he doesn’t repeat the mistakes of former President Buhari.
“So I think these are issues that, as citizens, as Nigerians, we must be very honest and frank in engaging them if we are going to move this country forward. This is the kind of debate we want to have in ADC.
