Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has strongly criticized the Federal Government’s economic policies, stating that they are imposing severe hardship on Nigerians.
Fintiri expressed his frustration at a meeting of the National Reconciliation Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi, where he emphasized the need for a change in the government’s economic approach.
“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,” Fintiri said.
He 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.
