The governor of Bauchi State has called on President Bola Tinubu to reevaluate the country’s economic policies, claiming that Nigerians do not support them.
The governor urged the president to put aside pride and listen to the complaints of the people while speaking during a Christmas Day celebration in Bauchi on Thursday, December 26.
“We are calling on the presidency and the federal government to change their style. Whenever a policy is not popular, they should listen to the people and not be arrogant and think that whatever they say must be. This is not an oligarchy.
“This is not a military rule. They must listen to the people, and that is what makes a good leader, and we pledged to be loyal to them.” the governor said.
He emphasized the need for collective action across party lines to address the hardships faced by Nigerians. “There is a lot of wahala. We must work together across party lines, across all the tiers of government to provide succor and solace to the Nigerian people. It is not about pride or ego because whatever it is; the situation was not like this before.
“If the situation was bad before I came, tell me and I must change. And the presidency must also listen,” he added.
The governor’s comments follow intense criticism of the Bola Tinubu administration’s economic policies, which many feel have made the Nigerian people’s financial problems worse.
