Makinde's Campaign Questions Tinubu's Impact on Kaduna

The Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organization (MDPCO) has called on President Bola Tinubu to clarify what Kaduna has gained from his administration since he assumed office. The opposition group accused Tinubu's government of failing northern Nigeria, particularly in addressing insecurity and economic hardship, which they believe could jeopardize his support in the upcoming 2027 presidential election.

This challenge comes ahead of Tinubu's planned campaign flag-off in Kaduna State. Richard Ihediwa, the MDPCO's Director of Strategic Communications, expressed confidence that Seyi Makinde, the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) presidential candidate, would defeat Tinubu.

The organization highlighted that over 13,000 people have been killed in northern Nigeria since Tinubu took office in 2023, with approximately 3.7 million displaced. They criticized the administration for prioritizing the protection of political advertisements over community safety and claimed that the North has been overlooked in federal appointments.
