Federal Government has declared that Governors elected on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, owe Nigerians an explanation on whether or not they spent increased allocations on their people.
This was made known in a statement by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris Malagi who said the government is running effectively and can pay all its bills while maintaining a healthy trade balance with trading partners worldwide.
The Federal Government’s reaction comes on the heels of a statement by the PDP Governors’ call to the APC-led federal government to rise to the occasion and address the worsening economic hardship in the country before it gets out of hand.
Responding to the statement, Idris Malagi said the Federal Government welcomed their call for a bipartisan approach to solving the nation’s economic and security problems.
The minister accused the PDP governors of mischievously and falsely comparing the nation’s current economic challenges to those of Venezuela.
