PDP Govs Slam ADC Over Zamfara Meeting Criticism

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum has defended its recent meeting in Zamfara State, accusing the African Democratic Congress (ADC) of politicising insecurity instead of showing empathy to victims of bandit attacks. The ADC had criticised the PDP for holding a political meeting in Zamfara, only days after dozens of residents were killed by bandits.

Former Minister Rotimi Amaechi delivered a sharp message at his 60th birthday in Abuja. He revealed he would have pursued similar policies to President Bola Tinubu if he led Nigeria. But he issued a major warning: ordinary Nigerians aren’t feeling the benefits. Amaechi’s Core Critique: Where’s the Public Good?Amaechi didn’t mince words: "The failure is that the gains of those policies are in their private pockets." He claims the intended results of reforms like subsidy removal enrich private individuals, not the masses.
