A faction of the Governors’ Forum loyal to the Plateau State Governor, Jonah Jang has condemned the verdict passed on the Dr. Goodluck Jonathan administration by the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Charles Soludo on the management of the nation’s economy.
In a statement released in Abuja and signed by the Secretary of the forum, Earl Osaro Onaiwu, the governors stated that they were at a loss as to the motive behind the article by Soludo, which they dismissed as half truth and falsehood.
The statement partly reads, ‘’The NGF under the leadership of Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau state has described as illusionary and attention seeking, the description of the economy by former CBN governor, Dr. Charles Soludo in a recent article he published.
“Dr. Soludo’s analysis flies in the face of all the conclusions and projections of renowned international economic bodies that the Nigerian economy was not only the largest in Africa, but was bound to continue its growth.
“The governors marvelled at why a former CBN governor will be against a state governor saving money for the rainy day as even the present shortfall in allocations vindicates such policies”.
