The Director-General of the Progressives Governors Forum, Dr. Salihu Lukman on Sunday said democracy will lose its appeal once internal disagreements among leaders of political parties cease to exist.
Lukeman explained that divergent views being expressed by leaders of the All Progressives Congress over the ongoing membership registration/ revalidation exercise were not in itself a bad thing for the growth and stability of the party.
According to him, the fact that despite the misgivings expressed by the pioneer Interim National Chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande, and the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, over the conduct of the exercise both party leaders demonstrated to all who care to notice, that, despite their personal misgivings, they respect the party’s decision.
