There is hunger in Nigeria, take action – Gov Fintiri tells Tinubu

  


Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has challenged President Bola Tinubu to act fast in addressing the grievances of Nigerians.

 

In a statewide broadcast Sunday afternoon, Fintiri stressed that it is not enough for the President to tell Nigerians that he has heard their cries. According to him, Nigerians should not wait endlessly for necessary actions.

 

The governor, who spoke on the #EndBadGovernance protest in Adamawa State, commended residents for conducting themselves peacefully, even as he stressed on the need for the Federal Government to heed the calls of the people.

 

He said, “The protest might be unpopular especially because of the way it was carried out in some states, but the message is clear and the demands are genuine. None of us can deny that there is hunger and general poverty.”

 

He added that as leaders of the people, those in government must, at all times, not only listen but also act.

 

“The lesson we must derive from the protest is the constant reminder that it is not enough to tell the citizens we have heard. We must be seen as doing the needful in providing solutions to citizens’ concerns,” the governor said.

 

After the first two busy days of protests on August 1 and 2, especially the state capital, Yola, protests have almost completely fizzled out in Adamawa State.

 

No violence incident has been recorded in the state.

  1. Nonsense Governors, what have you done with the funds that the FG gave you? List out your achievements in the last 1 year. I dislike when those in power, come out to complain, like they don't have power to make change. I'm sure by tomorrow, Seyi makinde would also come out to say rubbish
