PDP Criticizes Tinubu's 2026 Budget for Deepening Economic Hardship

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) strongly criticizes President Bola Tinubu's 2026 budget, accusing it of worsening economic hardship for Nigerians. PDP highlights the budget's failure to alleviate poverty, rising living costs, and insecurity.

They reference a World Bank report showing high poverty rates in Nigeria. PDP also raises concerns about the allocation of funds, especially in national security.

The party expresses alarm over Tinubu's admission of extending the 2024 capital budget into 2025, undermining fiscal discipline. PDP calls for greater transparency and accountability in managing the nation's finances.
