Leave Power If You Can’t Solve Nigeria’s Problems – PDP Govs Tell APC

To address the current challenges facing Nigeria at this critical time in economy, security among others, governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party have asked the ruling All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government to vacate power if it cannot mobilise all organs and tiers of government for sustainable solutions to the economic challenges confronting Nigerians.

The Chairman of PDP governors, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, on Monday, said Nigeria under Tinubu was almost on the path to becoming like Venezuela.

However, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has responded to the challenge in a releas, stating that drawing parallels between Nigeria and Venezuela was mischievous, emphasizing that many of the PDP governors have failed to fulfill obligations such as paying minimum wage, gratuities, and pensions.

According to him, “It is far-fetched when the PDP governors, who are supposed to be major players in driving economic growth and prosperity for our citizens in their respective states, mischievously and falsely compare our current economic challenges to Venezuela.”

While reacting in a statement on Saturday, the PDP Governors Forum’s Director General, Cyril Maduabum, explained that the governors of the party patriotically offered advice to the Federal Government, suggesting initiatives that involve both the Federal and State Governments to address the security and economic challenges confronting the nation.

____He said the suggestions and advice were provided as contributions from a group of patriotic governors who actively participate in governance. The Forum praised Tinubu for organising a special meeting to address some of the raised issues and urged that the resolutions of the meeting should be implemented.(Punch)
