2027: “Reserve figures cannot feed hungry Nigerians,” Makinde tells Tinubu

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde told President Bola Tinubu that improved foreign reserve figures cannot feed Nigerians facing hunger and poverty. He spoke on Saturday in Lagos at the official launch of the Makinde and Daura for Better Nigeria (MAD) Resetter Movement. Makinde said ordinary Nigerians were not feeling the effects of the government’s economic reforms and urged it to focus on policies with a direct impact on citizens. He called for food security and job creation to be prioritized ahead of the 2027 general elections.
