Bala Mohammed emerges chairman of PDP Govs Forum as Atiku criticises Tinubu over subsidy removal

The governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, emerged as the vice chairman of the forum.Mr Mohammed replaced Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, also at the retreat.

“I want to reiterate, on the issue of the National Assembly, we have to know we are an opposition. To remain relevant, we must work together as one family. That is the only way you will be able to ensure that your relevance is being determined.”In his remarks, the presidential candidate of the PDP in the last election, Atiku Abubakar, criticised the removal of subsidy by the administration of Bola Tinubu.

“We have the experience as a party in government. That is what we would have done and not just announced subsidy removal without discussion with the affected sectors of the economy. I think Nigerians should appreciate what they have temporarily lost.”The immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, was conspicuously absent at the retreat.
