OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports that the Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has criticised the Federal Government’s economic policies, stating that they are causing severe hardship for Nigerians.

OTN News further reports that the governor who said this while speaking at the North-East Zonal meeting of the People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) National Reconciliation Committee in Bauchi, expressed deep frustration over the state of the nation’s economy.

According to him, “Nigeria is bleeding. We are suffering. There is too much anger, and the FG’s economic policy is not working."

Fintiri who cited the rising inflation, unemployment, and a decline in living standards as key issues affecting citizens, emphasized the need for an immediate policy shift, urging the Federal Government to reconsider its economic approach. 

The governor 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, however, suggested that foreign-driven economic models may not be suitable for Nigeria’s unique socio-economic realities.
