Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has sounded the alarm on the country’s deteriorating economic situation, warning that the Federal Government’s policies are exacerbating the crisis and causing unbearable hardship for Nigerians. Speaking at a meeting of the National Reconciliation Committee of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi, Fintiri lamented the government’s inability to effectively manage the economy, leaving citizens to suffer the consequences.

“Nigeria is bleeding. People are angry, and the economic policies are not working. The Federal Government must rethink strategies that are making life difficult for Nigerians,” Fintiri said, emphasizing the need for a drastic overhaul of the government’s economic approach. He stressed that governance should be driven by responsibility and trust, rather than being dictated by external influences like the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The meeting, attended by the governors of Bauchi and Taraba, as well as the PDP’s acting National Chairman, focused on resolving internal party disputes and strengthening the party ahead of the 2027 elections. Committee Chairman Olagunsoye Oyinlola reaffirmed the PDP’s commitment to revitalizing the party and providing a viable alternative to the current administration.
Fintiri’s warning comes as Nigerians continue to grapple with rising inflation, unemployment, and poverty, sparking widespread discontent and frustration with the government’s handling of the economy.

The PDP’s criticism of the Federal Government’s economic policies is likely to intensify in the coming months, as the party seeks to capitalize on the growing discontent and position itself as a credible alternative in the 2027 elections.
