APM faults Tinubu’s reforms, laments economic hardship

The Allied Peoples Movement has criticized the economic reforms under President Bola Tinubu, blaming the government for worsening hardship among citizens. In a statement, the party's National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, expressed disappointment over the removal of fuel subsidy, the floating of the naira, and harsh taxes, which they claim have negatively impacted businesses and households.

The party's statement acknowledged that the government had underestimated the economic turbulence following its reforms, which led to millions of Nigerians suffering in multi-dimensional poverty. The APM urged President Tinubu to apologize to citizens, withdraw from the 2027 presidential race, and take responsibility for the nation's woes.

They urged Nigerians to support presidential candidate Seyi Makinde, who they believe has the blueprint for a people-based and development-driven government.
