Makinde Campaign Accuses Tinubu of Avoiding Public Scrutiny

The Makinde/Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation (MDPCO) has accused President Bola Tinubu of being afraid to face the Nigerian electorate due to his perceived failures in office, which has led him to avoid campaigning across the country. The MDPCO, through its Director of Strategic Communications, Richard Ihediwa, stated that Tinubu's self-reference as "Governor Tinubu" during the inauguration of his presidential campaign council reflects a disconnection from reality.

They argue that his decision not to campaign signals an attempt to evade public resentment and undermines democratic principles. The MDPCO claims that Tinubu's administration has exacerbated public anger rather than hope, highlighting issues such as worsening electricity supply and rising poverty levels.

They assert that a competent leader would confidently defend their record before the public, but Tinubu's actions suggest he is seeking excuses to avoid accountability. The organization reminded him of his promise to improve electricity, which has not been fulfilled, and criticized his economic policies that have led to increased hardship for Nigerians.
