Tinubu Calls On Nigerians To Vote Out Under-Performing Governors

President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to cast their votes against governors who are not meeting the expected standards of performance.

Tinubu in response to a plea from a group of Islamic scholars, they appealed to the Federal Government to oversee the allocation of relief packages provided to states, aimed at mitigating the consequences of the fuel subsidy removal.

Addressing this request, Tinubu stated that he cannot issue directives to the individual states, given their proximity to the local populace. Additionally, he emphasized that Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) would receive an increased share of these relief measures.

“The people reside in the states. Even if I set up a panel, I will have to go through the governors and the local governments. We will continue to talk to the governors. Nigerians must hold them accountable.

“It’s unheard of that in a constitutional democracy; a president will sit here and give orders to states. I can only appeal to them to implement. The people reside in the states, and if the governor is not doing well, the people must vote them out.”
