YPP's Dr. Peter Agada Critiques APC's Economic Plan

Architect Dr. Peter Agada, the presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), criticized the federal government's newly approved 90-day action plan aimed at easing the cost of living, calling it a mere campaign strategy that does not reflect Nigeria's economic reality. The plan was announced by Wale Edun, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, following approval from the National Economic Council (NEC).

Dr. Agada stated that the APC-led administration has repeatedly failed to provide tangible relief to citizens despite various intervention measures. He proposed his #LabourDirect Wards-Ward development strategy, which he claims could empower Nigerians with N40 million monthly and reach the entire population within 60 days.

He also suggested that the government should invite credible candidates with workable ideas to address the micro-economy and criticized the economic team's previous interventions as ineffective. Dr. Agada highlighted failed initiatives since 2023, including significant funding for manufacturing and agriculture, which did not lead to reduced food prices.
