APM Claims Nigerians Didn't Miss Tinubu's Return from Europe

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) stated that Nigerians did not miss President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during his four-week stay in Europe, which concluded with his return to Lagos from Paris on September 29. APM's National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Abubakar Yusuf, noted that the President's reception was lackluster, primarily attended by government officials and supporters rather than ordinary citizens.

Yusuf alleged that this subdued welcome indicated increasing public dissatisfaction with Tinubu's administration. He referenced videos showing some Lagos residents booing the President upon his arrival, chanting "ole," which translates to "thief" in Yoruba.

The APM accused Tinubu of being disconnected from the citizens' challenges, spending public funds on foreign trips while Nigerians face economic and security issues. The party criticized the administration's policies for weakening productive activities and increasing family pressures, asserting that these factors have strengthened their campaign for a change of government in 2027, with Seyi Makinde as their presidential candidate.
