The Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has defended President Bola Tinubu from the blame for the current economic hardship in Nigeria.
Uzodimma said that the economic hardships are a global issue and not unique to Nigeria, making it unfair to hold the president responsible.
Uzodimma said, āWe donāt need to overflog the horse. The truth of the matter is that the APC has done very well in Nigeria. What is happening currently is a global economic problem. President Bola Tinubu is also bringing out policies to ensure that, given the kind of economy and situation he met on the ground, he has started the treatment.
The PGF, which consists of governors elected under the All Progressives Congress (APC), supported Uzodimma’s stance.
Uzodimma made these remarks on Monday during a visit to the APC secretariat in Abuja.
The visit was to express solidarity and condolences to the National Chairman of the APC, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, over the loss of his mother-in-law.
Accompanying Uzodimma were Cross River Governor Bassey Otu, Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and Ekiti State Governor Abiodun Oyebanji.
āBy the grace of God, I am very confident that very soon, Nigerians will be jubilant about how he has managed to navigate the waters,” Uzodimma added.
