The governor made the comment while speaking on the country’s hardships and the ongoing nationwide protests, attributing the hunger and anger to economic policies introduced by President Tinubu.
According to Muhammed, the President’s recent broadcast failed to address the youths’ grievances, fueling their continued protests over hunger and hardship.
Mohammed criticized President Tinubu for not consulting state governors before his nationwide broadcast, saying it showed a lack of respect for their opinions.
The Governor emphasized that the nation’s problems cannot be blamed solely on the youths but also leaders at all levels, from the presidency to local government.
He highlighted the issues of unemployment, a failing educational system, and hunger, particularly in the North, as wake-up calls for good governance.
Mohammed stressed that the federal government’s new policies are not working and are causing problems, urging them to change their approach.
He expressed frustration with federal ministers claiming that states had received significant resources and asked why they would implement policies that caused pain.
