PDP Governors Tells FG to Revisit Economic Policies Over Worsening Cost Of Living

Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have asked the Federal Government to rejig its macroeconomic policies to stop the hardship that Nigerians are facing.

In a communiqué issued Friday at the end of their meeting in Asaba, Delta state and made available to the media, the governors noted that “no meaningful/impactful achievements in the states will be achieved until the harsh policies are addressed.”

Signed by Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, the governors in the communiqué under the aegis of the PDP Governors Forum noted with delight the ongoing efforts at resolving the crisis in the National Working Committee (NWC) on the position of the National Secretary.

They reaffirmed their support for the Court of Appeal judgment; consequently, the Forum advised the National Working Committee of the party to set up the machinery for the effective implementation of the court judgment.

“The Forum, having examined all the notices required by law to be given to validly convoke NEC, advised NWC to reschedule NEC to the thirteenth (13th) of March 2025.

“While commending the country’s valiant and patriotic Armed Forces and Security Agencies for maintaining the frontline in securing the government and the gains of our gallant personnel against bandits in parts of the country, the Forum viewed with deep concern the resurgence of brazen non-state actors. It therefore calls for the strengthening of the nation’s security architecture.

“The Forum expressed its gratitude to the Host Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, the Government and the Good People of Delta State for their hospitality and friendly disposition that have yielded the successful, well-structured and impactful meeting, even as it equally commends the Governor for the giant strides recorded by his administration in the areas of infrastructure, environmental remediation, people empowerment and combating insecurity.”

It enjoined Nigerians not to despair in the face of the prevailing hardships with the firm assurance that the PDP will remain committed to returning our great nation to the glorious days of the pre-2015 era of manageable costs of living, security of lives and property and greater unity and prosperity for all citizens.”
