The Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Umaru Fintire on Thursday expressed his discontent with the economic policies implemented by the Federal Government, asserting that these measures are causing significant hardship for the Nigerian populace.
Fintiri made this statement during a gathering of the National Reconciliation Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which included governors from the North East and other prominent stakeholders in Bauchi.
Present at the meeting were the Governors of Bauchi and Taraba, alongside the acting National Chairman of the PDP.
Fintiri expressed his dissatisfaction regarding the country’s current economic situation. Holding a position of authority is a divine privilege, and governance should be rooted in trust and accountability.
“Nigeria is bleeding, we are suffering, there is too much anger, and the economic policy is not working. That is why we always call on the Federal Government to reconsider some of these economic policies that are only putting hardship on Nigerians,” he said.
The governor also urged the Federal Government to focus on policies that do not bring further pain to Nigerians, adding: “Whatever will make us cry must not be part of your policy because the country belongs to us. It does not belong to the World Bank, IMF, or the international community.”
