“Nigeria is suffering,” Fintiri criticizes Tinubu’s policies

Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has strongly criticized the Federal Government’s economic policies, stating that they are causing widespread hardship for Nigerians.
Speaking at the Northeast Zonal meeting of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) National Reconciliation Committee in Bauchi, Fintiri expressed deep concern over the nation’s economic struggles.
“Nigeria is bleeding. We are suffering. There is too much anger, and the FG’s economic policy is not working,” he declared, highlighting the growing frustration fueled by rising inflation, unemployment, and a declining standard of living.
The governor emphasized the urgent need for a shift in economic strategy, urging the Federal Government to reconsider its current approach.
He warned that persisting with ineffective policies would only worsen the hardships faced by citizens and further alienate the government from the people.
“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 asserted, suggesting that foreign-driven economic models are ill-suited to Nigeria’s unique socio-economic context.
His remarks reflect a growing demand for people-centered economic reforms, aligned with a global trend toward inclusive and sustainable development.
Fintiri’s call for prioritizing the welfare of Nigerians underscores the disconnect between current macroeconomic indicators, such as GDP growth, and the everyday struggles of ordinary citizens—ranging from limited access to basic services to challenges in securing affordable healthcare and quality education.
