Media Personality, Rotus said “Peter Obi’s gradual floating of naira idea would not have solved Nigeria’s economic problems….it won’t pay the backlog of foreign airlines debts owed, it won’t bring FX to the economy.”

Others at the meeting included the National Secretary of the PDP, Senator Samuel Anyanwu; former Senate Minority Leader, Philip Aduda; serving and former federal and state lawmakers, some zonal and state party executives, among a host of others.
Addressing the meeting, Wike said the concerned stakeholders are those who have always believed and who still believe in the survival of the party.
“All of you here are those who are committed to the survival of our party not just on TV talking or on the newspapers talking but committed to the party at the various levels.
“Today, this country is stabilized because of the activities of the G5 Governors. You may like us you may hate us. The truth of the matter is if G5 did not take the decision we took, this country would have been in crisis.

Senator Ndume has said Tinubu is now addressing the issues he raised on sidelining the North in his cabinet.
Also, Ndume said he did not support the decision of the APC governors as “things are very bad in the country” at the moment.
He lamented the harsh economic situation, the skyrocketing cost of living in the country and the insecurity ravaging parts of Nigeria. “Nigerians cannot see any hope, they are doubting the Renewed Hope,” he said.
According to him, he stormed out of the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja when the governors endorsed the president for re-election.
Ndume said, “I was there but that was not why I was there; I was there for a summit and when I realised that it was not a summit and voice vote was put about the endorsement of Mr President, I just left, and that does not mean I am not an APC member. The majority had its way but few of us felt that was not right.”
“It happened before, not once, not twice. It happened during Jonathan. That does not mean anything. Politicians are decamping but the people who are the voters are not decamping.

"It is embarrassing," he said.

The Interim National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Tanko Yunusa, has decried the level of poverty in Nigeria.
This was as he slammed the current administration for not doing anything to alleviate the hardship ordinary Nigerians go through on a daily basis.
He criticised the All Progressives Congress, APC-led federal government for not fulfilling its campaign promises.
“You know, the manifesto of a political party is a social contract in which you sign with the people, because that is what you canvas to the people. They said they have a decent life for every Nigerian. A decent life for every Nigerian at the moment? I cannot quantify that particular decent life at the moment.
“They said they have 3 million new jobs a year. This is two years now. That means you will have had 6 million. Probably Nigerians will be able to assess whether we have 6 million jobs being created.

Former governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has disclosed he gave $1 million to former President Olusegun Obasanjo and N500 million to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 1998.
The Abia-born senator, who was discussing Nigerian politics, said he’s more anxious to see Nigerians eating three meals a day, and going on good roads.
He said: “When I put a lot of money at the time, by then, dollar was big money. Dollar was $84. I gave President Olusegun Obasanjo over $1 million. I gave the party (PDP) over N500 million to start the party.
“They were looking for money. The only few people who could have brought money then were TY Danjuma and Atiku Abubakar. Others had no money. All those people had no money to bring. And that is the truth.
“So for me, we are all friends. All this abusing Tinubu, abusing Orji Kalu, abusing Atiku Abubakar, abusing Amaechi should stop. What I think we should do, we should sit down as a family, talk about the needs of Nigerian people and deliver to them.
“I’m more anxious to see Nigerians eating three meals a day, going on good roads, going to good train stations, going to all these things, working in a decent factory and making decent money. This is what I would like.”
