PDP governors have called on President Bola Tinubu to find sustainable solutions to the nation's challenges or consider stepping down. Emphasizing that the APC sought power to address Nigeria's problems, not exacerbate them, the governors expressed concern over the universal impact of hardship, stating that "a hungry man is an angry man."
The governors stressed the disproportionate role of the APC-led Federal Government in mobilizing solutions, asserting that if it cannot fulfill this role, it should gracefully step aside. They pointedly placed the responsibility on President Tinubu as the Chief Executive Officer of Nigeria and called for collaborative efforts to navigate the difficulties created or intensified by the APC since 2015.
In response to criticism from APC officials, the PDP Governors defended their track record, highlighting the positive impact of PDP-governed states in terms of developmental policies, regular salary payments, and commitment to addressing the challenges at hand. They argued that issues such as food crises, insecurity, and exchange rates are primarily federal subjects.
The statement concluded with a hopeful note, expressing the governors' intention to continue working with President Tinubu in the spirit of cooperative federalism. Despite acknowledging his efforts, they emphasized the urgency of effective solutions to lead Nigeria out of its current predicaments.
