Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Monday, restated their position on state policing, as the solution to the country’s worsening security situation.
The Chairman of the Forum, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, who briefed journalists after a meeting of the governors in Abuja, says the governors also decried the free fall of the naira and its attendant consequences, and asked that the Federal Government’s economic team should find appropriate solutions to the challenge.
He decried the high cost of living in the country, and the value of the naira, saying, Nigeria is almost on the road to Venezuela, a country facing extreme economic and security hardship.
The Forum consequently urges the Federal Government to, as a matter of urgency, embark on initiatives involving all the subnational governments to bring a lasting solution to the crisis.
