The southwest leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has called on voters to hold politicians accountable for their electoral promises.
In a statement on Sunday, Ajadi emphasized the need for voters to scrutinize the commitments made by political parties ahead of the 2027 general election.
Ajadi urged the electorate to evaluate what political parties have achieved over the past two years, citing the stark contrast between promises and reality. Many citizens are facing increased hardship, despite promises of a better life.
The NNPP chieftain specifically criticized the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), stating that the party's promises have not translated to improved lives for citizens. Instead, many have been reduced to begging and living in misery.
Ajadi urged voters to critically assess the performance of political parties and their representatives before casting their ballots in 2027.
“Political parties pledged to improve the lives of Nigerians, yet they have exacerbated their struggles over the past two years,” he remarked.
Ajadi highlighted the APC’s “Renewed Hope Agenda,” which raised expectations among Nigerians, only for many to experience a decline in their quality of life due to economic challenges.
“The party claimed it would uplift the poor, yet it has instead suffocated them, leaving the average Nigerian in a state of hopelessness. Workers’ wages are insufficient to meet basic living standards.”
He also criticised the recent removal of fuel subsidies, which, without alternative support measures, has made fuel prices unaffordable for many.
Ajadi pointed out the negative ripple effects this has had on the economy, resulting in a devaluation of the Naira.
“It is shameful that the Naira has lost value compared to the CFA used in neighbouring Francophone West African countries,” he added.
The politician, however, urged the government to take urgent action to stabilise the economy and enhance the value of the naira against other global currencies.
