The Federal Government has responded sharply to the call for President Bola Tinubu’s resignation made by governors of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement issued on Sunday, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, dismissed the PDP governors’ demand as a “distraction.” He questioned the PDP’s track record during its previous terms in power, asking, “Why did they fail to turn the country around during their extended shot at power?”
This response follows last week’s statement by the PDP Governors’ Forum, led by Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, comparing Nigeria under President Tinubu to Venezuela and urging him to resign if he cannot find solutions to the nation’s myriad problems.
