APC Govs Blame Hardship On Global Challenges

The Chairman of Progressive Governors’ Forum and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has exonerated President Bola Tinubu from the current economic hardship ravaging the country.

The governor insisted it would be unfair for anybody to blame the President, describing the biting hardship as a global phenomenon not limited to Nigeria.

Uzodimma made the statement when he came on a solidarity visit to the secretariat of the APC in Abuja, to commiserate with the National Chairman of the ruling party, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, over the loss of his mother-in-law.

He was accompanied by Governors Bassey Otu of Cross River, Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo and Abiodun Oyebanji of Ekiti.

He said, “We don’t need to overflog the horse. The truth of the matter is that the APC has done very well in Nigeria. What is happening currently is a global economic problem. President Bola Tinubu is also bringing out policies to ensure that, given the kind of economy and situation he met on the ground, he has started the treatment.

“By the grace of God, I am very confident that very soon, Nigerians will be jubilant about how he has managed to navigate the waters.

Uzodimma expressed optimism that the APC would win the September 21 governorship election in Edo State. He also disclosed that some of the APC governors would monitor the polls in Edo and Ondo states to show support for their candidates.

The PGF chairman said the APC has the majority numbers to win the election. He also mentioned that the national campaign council will be inaugurated in Edo State on July 20 and most of the members of the Progressives Governors Forum will be in attendance.

The APC Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, welcomed the delegation of governors, saying he felt honored by their visit. He said the party will do everything possible to maintain good relationships with their governors and help protect their interests.
