The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum has urged President Bola Tinubu to review his administration’s economic policies to ameliorate the current economic hardship in the country.

This was part of the governor’s 8-point communique issued at the end of their two-day meeting in Jos, the Plateau State capital on Saturday, November 23, 2023.

Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang hosted the PDP governors with party executives and other stakeholders in attendance.

The Chairman of the Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, who read out the points, empathised with the masses over the current economic crunch.

Mohammed called on Tinubu to as a matter of urgency, find ways of cushioning the effects of its policies or have a review.

“The forum expresses empathy for Nigerians suffering from economic difficulties and calls for a review of federal government’s policies to improve citizens’ welfare,” he said.

The PDP governors also addressed issues confronting the party’s unity and called for more collaboration among members.
