In a joint statement released on November 24, 2024, governors from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have expressed strong condemnation of the economic policies implemented by President Bola Tinubu’s administration. The governors argue that the policies have exacerbated the financial hardships faced by ordinary Nigerians, leading to increasing poverty and inequality across the country.
The PDP governors specifically pointed to the recent hikes in fuel prices and the continued devaluation of the naira, which they claim have placed an unbearable burden on the average citizen. They also criticized the administration for its handling of unemployment rates, claiming that the government’s lack of comprehensive economic planning has resulted in job losses and stunted economic growth.
The governors called for a reversal of some of these policies and urged the President to adopt more inclusive and pro-people economic measures to safeguard the welfare of Nigerians. They emphasized the need for a more strategic approach to tackling the country’s economic challenges, including better management of resources and investments in key sectors such as agriculture, education, and healthcare.
This condemnation adds to the growing discontent among various political and social groups in the country, who have voiced concerns over the impact of the current economic direction.
