Nigerians Not Benefiting From Your Reforms – Bauchi Gov Tells Tinubu

The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has criticized the policies of the incumbent government led by President Bola Tinubu, stating that Nigerians are not benefitting from these reforms.

The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governor’s Forum urged the Tinubu government to reassess its existing monetary and fiscal policies, asserting that they are not functioning effectively.

Speaking during the launch of the Nigeria Development Update in Abuja on Thursday, Mohammed said there is hunger in the country, reiterating that the people are suffering.

The PDP chieftain emphasized the necessity for the government to adopt a more flexible approach, highlighting the pressing need for reform in light of the increasing hardships faced by citizens.

He pointed out the struggles of ordinary Nigerians, cautioning that the prevailing hunger and economic difficulties have led to a precarious situation. He noted that even individuals in his position are at risk of being attacked by discontented citizens.

Furthermore, Mohammed called for the federal government to formulate more effective economic strategies, underscoring that the current financial support is inadequate to combat the widespread hunger.

“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.

“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 (CBN governor), these policies are not working. They need to be reviewed. Let’s not resort to blackmail,” the Bauchi governor said.
