The Oyo state chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) Monday lashed out at Governor Seyi Makinde over his incessant criticism of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic reforms.
Oyo APC in a statement by its publicity secretary, Comrade Olawale Sadare, also condemned the attacks by suspected armed bandits on a security base in Olorunsogo local government area of Oyo state.
The party described the Governor Makinde’s incessant criticism of President Tinubu’s economic reforms as an exhibition of poor knowledge of economic management, human capacity development and nation building.
“On many occasions, Governor Makinde said the removal of fuel subsidy and floatation of naira by the Tinubu administration was designed to punish Nigerians and enrich the governors.
“Going by his claims, he has been enriched tremendously as a serving governor but the fundamental question is about what he has done to transform the life of the common man in Oyo state in the last seven years.
“It is apparent that Governor Makinde lacks the capacity to create wealth, offer good governance and provide security with the enormous resources at his disposal as he continues to waste tax prayer’s money on inanities and cosmetic projects.
“A good example is the N7.8billion which he spent on the procurement of surveillance aircrafts when he could have used five per cent of the amount on cheaper technological software and hardware to achieve better results,” the party said.
On the Sunday attack by suspected armed bandits, Oyo APC declared that the incident has raised more questions on the functionality of the multi-billion naira surveillance aircrafts recently purchased by the administration of Governor Makinde.
