Tax Reforms: Not Good for Northern Nigeria, Tinubu Must Listen to North, Anarchy Looms—Gov Mohammed

On Thursday, Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed stressed that Bola Tinubu’s tax policies are against northern Nigeria and will not favour the region.

The governor disclosed this when he received the Christian community in Bauchi State, who visited him at the Government House.

Mohammed, who also serves as the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors Forum, stated the tax reform bills that are currently before the National Assembly are programmed to favour only one section of the country.

According to him, Tinubu should drop the tax reform bills.

He noted that the bills are not good for Northern Nigeria because they will not guarantee inflows to pay salaries and build roads.

“That is why the presidency must listen to the cries about tax reform.

“It is not a good policy for northern Nigeria because we are not going to get money to pay your salaries or to do roads.

“They must listen; otherwise, they are calling for anarchy. And that is not good.

“We voted for the presidency in this state and other states; they must listen to us. They must not come up with policies that favour only one section of the country or even one state in the country.

“It is not about religion; it is not about tribe; it is about national unity; it is about national hegemony, and this is what we are all about: good leadership,” he said.

Recall that Tinubu, during his first Media Chat, insisted that the tax reform bills have come to stay.

He said, the tax reform bills are necessary to retool the country’s economy.

Recall that Northern governors and the National Economic Council rejected the tax reform bills.

Since its transmission to the National Assembly, the bills have continued to generate mixed reactions.
