Nigerians have been urged by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to reject governors who are not meeting expectations in the upcoming election.
The President urged the populace to hold their respective state governors accountable during a speech on Thursday at the Presidential Villa.
The president also gave advice to Nigerians who refused to implement the distribution of federal government palliatives to states to lessen the impact of the elimination of fuel subsidies.
“The people reside in the states. Even if I set up a panel, I will have to go through the governors and the local governments,” Tinubu said.
“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, the people must vote them out.”
