Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have advised the President Bola Tinubu led All Progressives Congress, APC federal government to graciously throw in the towel if it can not mobilise Nigerians as well as all organs and tiers of government for sustainable solutions to the various problems plaguing the nation.
The Governors, under the aegis of the PDP Governors’ Forum, PDP-GF, specifically noted that the hardship and suffering being faced by Nigerians under the Tinubu led administration have no tribal, religious or party colouration, stressing that “a hungry man is an angry man”.
The PDP-GF gave the advice in a statement at the weekend by its Director-General, Hon CID Maduabum in Abuja.
The PDP Governors expressly pointed out that the buck ultimately stops at the table of President Tinubu as the Chief Executive Officer of Nigeria, the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federation, the Chief Salesman and leader of Nigeria.
The PDP-GF, nonetheless, assured that as stakeholders in governance, it would continue to work collaboratively with the President in finding lasting solutions to “a very difficult situation created or exacerbated by the APC since 2015”.
The PDP Governors frowned at the Minister of Information, APC Governors’ Forum and other officials of the Tinubu-led Federal Government who criticised the PDP-GF for their suggestions, advice and patriotic intervention on the way forward for the country in a communique issued at the end of their recent meeting in Abuja.
The PDP Governors reminded the APC-led government of the pertinent need to be guided by the fact that it (the APC) sought power to solve the problems of Nigeria not to compound them or shift blame, or grandstand or use propaganda to obfuscate or confuse issues.
The PDP-GF, in its statement at the weekend, categorically declared, “It must be noted that even though Nigeria is a Federation, there is indeed only one economy.
