Highlighting the dire circumstances affecting ordinary Nigerians, the governor expressed concern about the increasing risk of public unrest. “What steps are being taken to alleviate hunger? We must find ways to support our people,” he urged.

He criticized the sharp decline in purchasing power among citizens and pointed to the overall ineffectiveness of the economic reforms. “The purchasing power has significantly decreased. My brother Cardoso, we must recognize that these policies are failing and need a thorough review. Let’s engage constructively instead of resorting to blackmail,” he added.

Governor Mohammed also voiced concerns over rising utility costs, specifically electricity tariffs, which he claimed have become prohibitive. “We are nearing a critical point. These policies are not yielding positive results and must be reevaluated,” he insisted.
