Makinde Slams Tinubu Govt Over “Unrealistic Policies,” Demands Petrol Pricing Template
The presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Seyi Makinde, has accused the Federal Government of worsening the living conditions of Nigerians through what he called unrealistic policies and abandoned projects.
Makinde made the remarks on Wednesday at the MakindeDaura 2027 Presidency South-South Town Hall meeting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
He said the government embarks on huge projects only to drop them midway, leaving ordinary Nigerians to bear the consequences.
“You cannot keep complicating the lives of Nigerians with unrealistic policies and projects. Everything from them is mega. They want to do a super highway, there is Presidential Initiative for CNG, it came to nothing. Naira for crude came to nothing. Has it translated to lower cost of transportation for millions of Nigerians?” he asked.
Reacting to the government’s plan to modulate the price of petroleum products, Makinde said such a move amounted to tampering with the lives and future of the country’s citizens.
“So, now they said they want to modulate the price of petroleum products, they want to modulate the lives of millions of Nigerians, they want to modulate the destiny of the most populous black nation on the face of the earth,” he said.
The APM candidate urged the Federal Government to make its petroleum pricing template public so Nigerians could scrutinise it.
“Provide for Nigerians your pricing template, we will see Nigerians that can tell us how to make it work for millions of Nigerians.
“So don’t complicate things and say, this policy, that policy. Give us the template. Once we have the template, we can point out the real figures and tell you how to make it to work for millions of Nigerians,” he added.
