MDPCO Challenges Tinubu’s Economic Narrative

The Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation (MDPCO) has disputed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's portrayal of the naira's performance, asserting that his administration has not adequately addressed the economic struggles faced by Nigerians.

Seyi Makinde's campaign highlighted that the President's claim about the exchange rate being a major economic success is seen as an attempt to reshape Nigeria's recent economic history.

According to the MDPCO, the administration's policies have led to a decline in the purchasing power of Nigerians, with the naira depreciating sharply after Tinubu took office.

The organisation noted that the naira's value fell to nearly ₦2,000 against the dollar, while the cost of living for essentials like food and transport rose significantly.
