The reforms have sparked significant resistance from northern leaders, who argue that the policies disproportionately harm their region.
The PDP leader supported these concerns, calling the reforms an example of poor governance that neglects Nigeria’s diverse economic realities.
Highlighting the broader implications of Tinubu’s approach, the PDP figure warned that citizens are growing increasingly frustrated.
“Nigerians are fed up and will undoubtedly reject such poor governance come 2027,” he stated.
He urged the government to abandon its top-down approach to policymaking, emphasising the need for meaningful public engagement and stakeholder input.
“This country cannot afford to endure another term of such mismanagement,” he stated.
