The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has called upon the opposition to move beyond mere criticism and actively contribute solutions to address the pressing challenges facing the nation.
Since assuming office in May, the administration of Bola Tinubu has witnessed a significant rise in the cost of living, with inflation reaching unprecedented levels.
The implementation of various reforms, such as the removal of fuel subsidies and the floating of the nation’s currency, the Naira, appears to have exacerbated the situation, leading to protests in several cities.

While the opposition, led by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), has been vocal in their condemnation of the government’s handling of the country’s difficulties, APC spokesperson Felix Morka has urged them to offer more than just criticism and actively propose constructive solutions.
“One of the concerns we have is that opposition is not about condemning,” Morka said on Tuesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today, arguing that the PDP and LP also campaigned to undertake some of the reforms the Tinubu government is undertaking.
“So, it is not enough to just condemn. These leaders should be able to – assuming they have that silver bullet that they say the government is not deploying – point it out,” the APC chieftain added.
Morka who said the government is aware of the challenges facing Nigerians, called for patience as the administration is new.
“This government is not one year. We are a few months,” he maintained. “Look at the inputs under this government. The bold steps they have taken to tackle these fundamental problems.”
According to him, the difficulties are temporal routes to getting the country working.
