Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed of Bauchi State has expressed concern over the impact of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s policies on Nigerians.
During a meeting with a group of Islamic scholars led by Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir, Governor Mohammed emphasized the need for the president to take corrective action to ease the suffering of the citizens.
Governor Mohammed stated, “Your policies are not working and people are suffering.” He highlighted that the purpose of his remarks was not to criticize personally but to address the challenges that have arisen due to certain decisions made by the federal government.
“I am not insulting anybody and it is not arrogance but as leaders, it is a duty upon us to tell ourselves the truth. We are saying it so that the president can correct his mistake. Nigerians are suffering and we, the governors, are also suffering because of the president’s bad policies.
“Take for instance the Tax reform policy. Of course, no government can survive without revenue; if for instance the sources of its revenue can be blocked, no one can run it.
