“Your policies are not working” – Gov. Muhammed tells FG
Bauchi State Governor Bala Muhammed has raised concerns about the monetary policies implemented by the Tinubu administration, arguing that they are negatively impacting the livelihoods of citizens.
He expressed that the state of the economy has led to widespread frustration among Nigerians, which could potentially escalate to violence against those in his position.
Speaking at the launch of the Nigeria Development Update in Abuja, he emphasized the urgent need for effective policy changes.
“When the reforms started, the sub-nationals supported the President. But now, the macroeconomic policies causing inflation need to be reconsidered. There is hunger, people are suffering, and Nigerians are not benefitting from these reforms.”
The governor in his speech stated that the purchasing power of Nigerians has been drastically reduced.
“What are you doing to reduce hunger? We must help the people cope. The purchasing power of the people has drastically diminished. My brother Cardoso, these policies are not working. They need to be reviewed. Let’s not resort to blackmail.”
Addressing the issue of electricity, the governor remarked, “What about power? The tariffs are so high that people cannot afford to pay. We are on the brink of being lynched. These policies are not working. We must review them.”
