Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has criticized the Federal Government’s economic policies, stating that they are causing severe hardship for Nigerians.
Speaking at the Northeast Zonal meeting of the People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) National Reconciliation Committee in Bauchi, Fintiri expressed deep frustration over the state of the nation’s economy.
“Nigeria is bleeding. We are suffering. There is too much anger, and the FG’s economic policy is not working,” Fintiri declared, citing rising inflation, unemployment, and a decline in living standards as key issues affecting citizens.
The governor emphasized the need for an immediate policy shift, urging the Federal Government to reconsider its economic approach. He warned that continuing with ineffective policies would only exacerbate the suffering of Nigerians and deepen the gap between the government and the people.
Fintiri further stated, “Whatever will make us cry must not be part of your policy because the country belongs to us. It does not belong to the World Bank, IMF, or the international community.”
Fintiri suggested that foreign-driven economic models may not be suitable for Nigeria’s unique socio-economic realities.
