Governors pass Vote Of Confidence on Adeosun and Udoma

Nigerian governors today passed a vote of confidence on the minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma and his finance counterpart, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, saying they were not responsible for plunging the country into recession.


The governors’ stance ridicules the National Assembly’s call for the removal of the two ministers, whom they accused of not knowing what to do in order to bail the nation out of the economic straits.

The governors, who passed their implicit confidence on the two ministers, pointed out that the two ministers are not to blame in the declining economy during the meeting of the National Economic Council, NEC, presided over by Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, at the State House.

The state governors reasoned that the two ministers should be commended for their sagacity in reviving the ailing economy occasioned by failing oil price, Nigeria’s major income earner, over the years.
