Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has said Nigeria is “bleeding” and Nigerians are suffering due to the severe hardship in the country.
He stated this at the Northeast Zonal meeting of the People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) National Reconciliation Committee in Bauchi.
“Nigeria is bleeding. We are suffering. There is too much anger, and the FG’s economic policy is not working,” he said, highlighting the growing frustration among citizens over rising inflation, unemployment, and the general decline in the standard of living.
The governor stressed the urgent need for a policy shift, urging the Federal Government to reconsider its approach to economic management.
He warned that the continued implementation of ineffective policies would only deepen the suffering of Nigerians and widen the gap between the government and the people.
Governor Fintiri’s also emphasised on prioritising the welfare of Nigerians as there is a disconnect between current economic policies and the lived realities of many citizens.
“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,” Fintiri asserted, suggesting that foreign-driven economic models may not be suitable for Nigeria’s unique socio-economic realities.
