Senate President Godswill Akpabio has alleged that some political opponents of President Bola Tinubu’s administration are exploiting insecurity and other challenges to create a negative perception of the country.
Akpabio made the remarks on Tuesday while speaking at the commissioning of the main carriageways of the Outer Southern Expressway, linking Ring Road 1 Junction to Ring Road 2 Junction in the Federal Capital Territory.
According to him, opposition politicians have shifted attention to insecurity because they are unable to criticise the government’s performance in key sectors of the economy.
“If they did not say that nothing is happening in Nigeria, how would they go for the election? They have to say that,” Akpabio said.
He cited reforms in the petroleum sector, the removal of fuel subsidies and ongoing infrastructure projects as examples of achievements that, in his view, have limited the opposition’s ability to campaign on issues of governance.
