The All Progressives Congress (APC) says governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) indicted themselves when they asked President Bola Tinubu to throw in the towel over economic hardship in the country.
The governors of the opposition party said the suffering in the land has become unbearable.
In a statement on Sunday, Felix Morka, national spokesperson of the APC, said PDP governors have become “doomsday vocalists” instead of living up to their responsibilities.
Morka said it is “cringeworthy” that the governors who have stifled the LGAs in their states are speaking about the “buck” on the president’s table.
“Rather than live up to their responsibilities as chief executive officers of nigeria’s federating units, the PDP governors have turned themselves into a band of doomsday vocalists, raising their voices to deafening decibels intended to drown the groans of their citizens battered by their critical inertia, ineptitude and dismal performance as governors of their states,” he said.
“As the federal buck ‘ultimately stops’ at the President’s table so the state buck ‘ultimately stops’ at the governors’ table.

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general election, Mr Peter Obi, has said that he was not desperate to be nigeria’s President, but that he desired the country to work.
Obi spoke while reacting to his award as the LEADERSHIP Politician of the Year 2023 at the annual LEADERSHIP Conference and Awards holding in Abuja, on Tuesday.
According to the LP presidential candidate, it was a shame for Ukraine, a war-torn country, to donate grains to nigeria when Niger State alone can feed the whole of Africa.
“Let me thank the LEADERSHIP Newspaper for this event and the award. We’ve all heard from the keynote speaker.
“For me, this award, I am grateful to the almighty God. If I have the opportunity, I will give my all to the country.
“I am not desperate to be president, I am desperate to make nigeria work,” Obi stated, while adding that young Nigerians should be productively engaged in order to eliminate poverty and crime.
