- The governor advised the federal government to review and reconsider its economic policies as they appear not to be working, saying “Nigeria is bleeding”.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa state has voiced his displeasure at how the president Bola Tinubu-led government is managing the affairs of the country.
He stated that the policies of the Federal Government have plunged the nation into severe economic crisis and brought untold hardship to the people.
Fintiri spoke at a meeting of the National Reconciliation Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, with governors from the North East and other key stakeholders in Bauchi.
The governor advised the federal government to review and reconsider its economic policies as they appear not to be working, saying “Nigeria is bleeding”.
He asserted that the policies have engendered widespread suffering, poverty, stressing the need for the government to implement policies that will ameliorate the pain and suffering of the people.
“That is why we always call on the Federal Government to reconsider some of these economic policies that are only putting hardship on Nigerians.”
Fintiri further stressed that holding a position of power is a privilege given by God, and therefore, the country must be governed based on trust and responsibility.
“The country belongs to us. It does not belong to the World Bank, IMF, or the international community,” he said.
During the meeting, the Chairman of the National Reconciliation Committee, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, acknowledged the factors that led to the party’s loss in the last election.
He identified disunity within the party as a key reason and expressed the committee’s commitment to addressing those issues.
“We are here to interact with our leadership and membership of our great party so that we can discuss where we are falling short of what we were supposed to do, which led to the outcome we witnessed,” Oyinlola said
