You have no right to criticise Tinubu for removing subsidy on PMS – APC tackles Makinde

 The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
has declared that Governor Seyi Makinde of the state does not have the right to
criticize President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for removing subsidy on Premium Motor
Spirit, also known as PMS.

 

The party made this declaration on Tuesday.

 

APC, in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Wasiu
Olawale Sadare, said that Makinde is the only governor that has been
criticizing Tinubu for removing subsidy on PMS.

 

Sadare, in the statement, said
that it is on the record that Makinde did not, for once, criticize former
President Muhammadu Buhari.

 

Sadare, while speaking further, said that Makinde attempted
to take advantage of the labor protest on Tuesday to heap all the blame of the
bad economy in the country on the federal government.

 

He urged the governor to address the problems facing the
state instead of blaming Tinubu.

 

Sadare said, “Makinde has grown more wings in his penchant
for misleading the public and sacrificing others for his ineptitude in
government. Funny enough, the PDP-dominated State House of Assembly spoke in
the same tone on the same day, and we understand the script being played by the
governor.

 

“Gov. Makinde holds the record of the only governor in
Nigeria who constantly blames the sitting President for his failure to add
value in his state. Out of the 36 governors, the Oyo State helmsman was the
only one who criticized President Bola Tinubu over the removal of fuel subsidy
when he stated that the decision was untimely and not well thought out. This
was what he did to former President Muhammadu Buhari between 2019 and 2023 as
he distanced himself from Aso Villa on account of ego and thereby denied the
Pacesetter state a lot of opportunities for four years.

 

“As he is wont to do, Makinde attempted to take advantage of
the labor protest on Tuesday to heap all the blame for the bad economy in the
country on the federal government, forgetting that governors like him were more
culpable for the extent to which the quality of life has degenerated. Why blame
President Tinubu for stopping wasteful spending on fuel subsidy when the
decision has been enabling you to collect improved allocations in the last nine
months, although without much to show for it?

 

“The Oyo State government has received over N207 billion in
allocations from Abuja since May last year, and this excludes the billions of
naira accrued to the 33 local government councils which the governor hijacked
from them.

 

“Rather than use the whopping allocations to create wealth,
Gov. Makinde mopped up more funds from loans, grants, IGR, and illegal sale of
government assets without accountability. So, who then addresses hunger,
poverty, and unemployment in Oyo State when the governor always engages in
wasteful spending, capital flight, and misplaced priorities?”.
