Bauchi Governor criticizes President Tinubu’s reforms, stating they are failing to alleviate the widespread hardship Nigerians are facing.
Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has urged the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu to reconsider its existing monetary and fiscal policies, as he believes they are not functioning efficiently.
The governor announced this decision during the unveiling of the Nigeria Development Update in Abuja on Thursday.
Mohammed advised the government to remain flexible in its approach, stressing the critical need for change due to the increasing hardships facing the country.
He emphasized the struggles of everyday Nigerians, cautioning that hunger and economic difficulties have led to a volatile situation. He disclosed that even individuals in his position are at risk of being attacked by frustrated citizens.
Mohammed urged the federal government to create more effective economic policies, emphasizing that the current funding is inadequate to tackle the widespread hunger.
When the reforms were initiated, regional leaders backed the President. However, it’s now necessary to reevaluate macroeconomic policies that are contributing to inflation. There is widespread hunger and suffering, and Nigerians are not reaping any benefits from these reforms.
How are you working to alleviate hunger? We need to support people in managing this issue.
The people’s purchasing power has significantly decreased.
“My brother Cardoso, as the CBN governor, these policies aren’t effective and need to be reassessed. Let’s avoid resorting to blackmail,” stated the governor.
