Seyi Makinde Critiques Tinubu Government's Policies

Seyi Makinde, the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), criticized the Federal Government for exacerbating the living conditions of Nigerians. Speaking at the MakindeDaura 2027 Presidency South-South Town Hall meeting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, he accused the government of initiating large-scale projects that are often abandoned midway, complicating the lives of citizens with what he termed “unrealistic policies and projects.” Makinde pointed to various initiatives, such as the proposed super highway and the Presidential Initiative for CNG, which he claimed have not yielded tangible benefits for Nigerians.

He questioned the effectiveness of the government's plans to modulate petroleum product prices, suggesting that these policies do not translate into lower transportation costs for the populace. Makinde urged the government to provide a clear pricing template for Nigerians to assess and contribute to making policies work effectively for the country.
