Makinde Criticizes Tinubu's Saudi Arabia Prayer Trip
Seyi Makinde, the Governor of Oyo State and the Presidential Candidate of the Advanced Peoples Movement (APM), criticized President Bola Tinubu for his trip to Saudi Arabia to pray for Nigeria. Tinubu arrived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Thursday to observe the lesser hajj and pray for the nation.
He was welcomed by Nigeria’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Yakubu Gambo, the CEO of BUA, Abdulsamad Rabiu, Senator A.A Yari, and Saudi Arabia’s Head of Royal Protocol, Ahmad bin Thafi. During a South East Town Hall Meeting of the APM in Enugu State, Makinde argued that if Tinubu wished to pray for Nigeria, he could do so in Aso Rock, emphasizing that prayers can be answered in Nigeria.
He stated that leadership involves being present with the people and sharing in their struggles, rather than traveling abroad frequently. Makinde affirmed that the APM would not engage in foreign prayer trips but would remain in Nigeria to pray for the country and its leaders.
