- Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed said he has the
intention of having a meeting with Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir, to talk to
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu about
the proposed tax reform bills.
The Bauchi state governor Sheikh Jingir is one of the
people President Tinubu listens to in the country.
He stated this when he received a delegation of
Islamic scholars led by Sheikh SJingir, Daily Trust reports.
“You are among the few personalities that can approach
the president on this issue. You are one of the people that the president
listens to.”
Governor Mohammed urged Tinubu to change
his policies, stating that the policies are not working and the people are
suffering.
The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Governors’ Forum alleged that the 36 state governors are also suffering because
of President Tinubu’s bad policies.
The governor said he is saying this as a leader so
that President Tinubu can correct
his mistakes.
“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.
“I am sure you have heard that we are quarrelling with
the president. Yes, it is true we are quarrelling because our people are
suffering and the president has refused to listen to us.”
The northern stakeholders demanded the bills'
immediate suspension and called for extensive dialogue with the people who
matter.
A fresh report said Tinubu was determined to address
Nigeria’s challenges and implement reforms; hence, he sent representatives to
speak to the rebelling northern leaders.
