The Progressives Governors’ Forum pleads with Nigerians to show understanding, admitting that President Tinubu’s reforms and economic policies are experiencing growing pains.
Despite the challenges, the APC governors remain confident that Nigeria will overcome its current difficulties and emerge stronger.
At a press briefing after a closed-door session on Wednesday night, Governor Hope Uzodimma, Chairman of the Progressives Governors’ Forum, called on young Nigerians to reject the planned demonstration and trust President Tinubu to resolve the country’s issues.
He said, “We have looked at the various policies of this government, and we acknowledge a teething problem associated with the initial stage of the programme and agree that because we are very hopeful, it is also the solution to the current problem and economic hardship that has befallen our country.
“In a very short time, we are confident that the situation will be restored. Prosperity would come at the end of the day. We use this opportunity to advise our young boys and girls, young men and women, to desist from being instigated into causing crisis or chaos in the country.
“Already, Nigerians have suffered enough. The global economic recession, insecurity in Nigeria, political tension occasioned by instigations and campaigns of calumny by the opposition party, and social media attacks on various policies of the government.
“We want to advise for the interest of the country and a show of patriotism. Our citizens must take ownership of this country. We have no other country we can call our own. We took the opportunity also to agree to explain to the larger Nigerians that this government is doing well.”
