  "account": "The presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party, Peter Agada, has criticized the Federal Government's 90-day action plan to tackle the cost of living crisis. Agada stated that the plan is merely a campaign strategy and does not effectively address Nigeria's economic challenges. He questioned the effectiveness of previous government interventions, such as reducing petrol prices, removing illegal levies, and supporting businesses and farmers, hinting that these measures have not been successful. Agada also criticized the timing of the plan, given the upcoming 2027 general elections, asking what will happen after the election if the promises made are not fulfilled. He expressed concern that none of the analysts he had listened to had supported the economic team, suggesting that they have lost their way. Agada emphasized the need for the government to address food inflation, particularly, and urged Nigerians to hold the government accountable for its policies. He proposed his LabourDirect ward-to-ward development strategy as an alternative, aiming to stimulate grassroots economic activities and empower Nigerians within 60 days.",
