‘Nigeria Is Bleeding,’ Gov Fintiri Tells FG

The Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, on Thursday criticised the economic policies of the Federal Government, claiming they are imposing severe hardship on Nigerians.

He made the statement while meeting with North East region governors and other important parties in Bauchi for the People’s Democratic Party’s National Reconciliation Committee. The acting PDP National Chairman and the governors of Bauchi and Taraba were present at the meeting.

Fintiri expressed frustration with the state of the nation’s economy, stating: “Nigeria is bleeding, we are suffering, there is too much anger, and the economic policy is not working. We constantly urge the Federal Government to reevaluate some of these economic policies that are only putting Nigerians in hardship.

He added that the country must be administered in a trust and responsibility-based manner because holding a position of power is a privilege granted by God.

The governor also urged the Federal Government to concentrate on policies that prevent Nigerians from grieving further, noting that “the country belongs to us” as a reminder. It does not belong to the World Bank, IMF, or the international community”, he said.

Fintiri promised that the three North-East governors would work together to advance the PDP in the area in his statement regarding party unity.

The governor also emphasized the importance of regional cohesion, which he believes contributed to the party’s victory in all of the region’s previous presidential elections.

“PDP lost the zone, but there is no state there.” We are still unsure how we lost that election because we know we did not lose that election in Borno, he said, even the one that we lost in Borno.

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 cited party division as a major factor in his statement and pledged to work with the committee on these issues.
