Seyi Makinde Critiques FG's Economic Claims at MAD Launch

Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, criticized the Federal Government's claims regarding economic recovery, asserting that many Nigerians continue to face hunger. He made these remarks during a video message at the launch of the Makinde and Daura for Better Nigeria (MAD) Resetter Movement in Lagos.

Makinde described the focus on increasing foreign reserves as a political gimmick, arguing that true economic progress should be measured by improvements in citizens' living conditions. He called for a comprehensive reset of Nigeria's economy, security architecture, education system, and socio-political environment, advocating for the restoration of federalism and multiparty democracy.

Makinde questioned the significance of rising foreign reserves when basic necessities remain unaffordable for millions. He urged Nigerians dissatisfied with the current state of affairs to join the movement, which aims to mobilize support beyond Lagos and the Southwest.

Hon. Hassan Felix, the Director-General of the Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation, echoed these sentiments, highlighting issues like unemployment and insecurity.
