The Allied People’s Movement has challenged President Bola Tinubu to leave the comfort of the Presidential Villa and visit communities and markets across the country to verify his administration’s claims that Nigeria’s economy and security situation have improved.The opposition party, in a statement issued on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, described the President’s claims as “illusory,” arguing that they contradict the realities faced by millions of Nigerians struggling with rising living costs, insecurity and economic hardship.The criticism followed President Tinubu’s recent remarks during an engagement with the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria, where he reportedly told the clerics that his administration had stabilised the economy and moved the country away from what he described as “bankruptcy and the dark tunnel of uncertainty.”Reacting, the APM accused the president of presenting an inaccurate picture of the country’s situation to respected religious leaders while Nigerians continue to grapple with economic difficulties.The party said it was unfortunate that rather than acknowledging the challenges confronting the country and seeking broader solutions, the administration was allegedly engaging in “forum shopping” to project a positive image.“The APM holds that making such false claims to spiritual leaders of the status of Catholic Bishops, at a time when millions of Nigerian families are sinking deeper into abject poverty and terrorists are having a field day killing, maiming and kidnapping citizens across the country, is the height of contempt for the sensibilities of both the respected bishops and Nigerians in general,” the statement read in part.The party also challenged the president’s claim that the economy had recovered, arguing that available economic indicators showed worsening hardship among Nigerians.According to the APM, rising poverty levels, increased cost of living and growing public debt contradicted the government’s position that the economy was improving.The party questioned how Nigerians could be convinced of economic recovery when the removal of fuel subsidy and subsequent increases in petrol prices had triggered higher transportation costs, food prices, school fees, medical expenses, rent and other essential goods and services.“How can President Tinubu think that any Nigerian, let alone clergymen who are in constant touch with the suffering masses, will believe his claims that the economy is improving?” the party asked.On security, the APM accused the administration of failing to take decisive action against terrorism and other violent crimes, alleging that insecurity had continued to threaten lives and livelihoods across the country.Related

criticised what it described as statements from some government officials and ruling All Progressives Congress leaders that it claimed could undermine efforts to address terrorism.The opposition party further challenged President Tinubu to demonstrate his confidence in the state of the country by relying on Nigeria’s healthcare system and travelling by road within the country rather than seeking medical attention abroad.“The APM challenges President Tinubu not to travel abroad for medical treatment, but rather to stay in the country for the remainder of his term and benefit from the ‘wonderful’ healthcare his administration has provided,” the party said.It also urged the President to visit any local market or travel by road to a city of his choice and explain to Nigerians that their living conditions had improved under his administration.The party warned that attempts to highlight achievements without addressing public concerns would not change voters’ perceptions ahead of the 2027 general election.The APM said its presidential candidate and Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, had the experience and leadership qualities required to address the country’s challenges.“Such antics will not help President Tinubu against our presidential candidate, Engr Seyi Makinde, who has demonstrated the requisite capacity, administrative skill, presence of mind and integrity to effectively lead our nation out of the woods where President Tinubu has plunged it,” the statement added.Tinubu’s administration has consistently defended its economic reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidy and foreign exchange reforms, arguing that the measures were necessary to restore fiscal stability, attract investment and place the economy on a sustainable growth path.However, opposition parties and critics have continued to fault the policies, citing increased living costs, inflationary pressures and hardship experienced by households across the country.The latest criticism by the APM adds to growing political exchanges ahead of the 2027 general election, with opposition parties increasingly challenging the Federal Government’s economic and security record while the administration maintains that its reforms will deliver long-term benefits.
