Member representing Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, has urged Nigerians to hold governors responsible.

Gagdi stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Tuesday.

He alleged that governors were not complementing President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to improve the economy.

He added that state allocation had tripled since the removal of subsidy.

He said, “The day he came into power, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a bold statement. ‘Subsidy is gone’ was not just a statement, but he practicalised that.

“He did not stop there. A State that took N4 billion monthly when there was subsidy now takes between N10 to N14 billion. Why are Nigerians and state assemblies not questioning the performances of their governors?

“If the revenue given to each state has tripled by the efforts of Mr. President in fulfillment of his campaign promise, why are the governors not justifying that?

“In addition to that, they come up with people-oriented policies of giving loan to students, assisting families, interventions, helping SMEs to grow. Can we say the infrastructures they develop is commensurate with the money they receive?”
