Amid the hardship occasioned by fuel subsidy removal, President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to vote out governors performing below expectations.
Tinubu disclosed this on Thursday when some Islamic scholars asked that the Federal Government monitor the distribution of palliatives disbursed to states to cushion the effects of subsidy removal.
Tinubu charged Nigerians to hold their governors accountable.
“The people reside in the states. Even if I set up a panel, I must go through the governors and the local governments.
“We will continue to talk to the governors. Nigerians must hold them accountable.
“It’s unheard of that in a constitutional democracy, a president will sit here and give orders to states. I can only appeal to them to implement.
“The people reside in the states, and if the governor is not doing well, they(Nigerians) must vote them out.”
