A political campaign organization associated with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and a figure identified as Daura has criticized President Bola Tinubu’s claim that Nigeria is emerging from a difficult economic period.
In a statement attributed to strategic communications director Richard Ihediuwa, the organization argued that rising living costs, pressure on businesses and insecurity contradicted the president’s positive description of economic conditions during his pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
The group cited poverty, food insecurity, fuel prices, unemployment, infrastructure deficits and public borrowing as areas in which it believed the government had fallen short. It accused the administration of placing additional burdens on households and businesses while overstating the benefits of its economic reforms.
It also questioned the president’s remarks about the temporary nature of political power and called for a change in leadership. The statement represents a partisan response to Tinubu’s comments rather than an independent assessment of Nigeria’s economy.
Several figures in the statement, including the claimed number of people facing food insecurity, the total public debt and the infrastructure funding gap, require verification from the relevant official statistical and financial sources. The supplied account also uses inconsistent names for the campaign organization, which should be resolved before publication.
