Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed of Bauchi State has called on Bola Ahmed Tinubu to listen to the plights of Nigerians, saying: “Your policies are not working and people are suffering.”
Speaking to a group of Islamic scholars headed by Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir, Governor Mohammed counselled Tinubu to take advice from Nigerians and make amends for his previous errors.
“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.

“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.”
Governor Mohammed told the delegation that he had the intention of meeting Sheikh Jingir on the matter, saying “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.”
