Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed said President Bola Tinubu paid no heed to alleged wise counsel from governors.
Mohammed and the Presidency have been having bitter exchange over the tax reform bills, which the governor like most northern leaders disagreed with, claiming it’s skewed in favour of the South, particularly Lagos.
Speaking when National Chairman Council of Ulama Jama’atu Izalatul Bid’ah Wa’Ikamatis Sunnah, Sheikh Sani Jingir, who paid him a condolence visit at his office in Bauchi, the state capital, Mohammed chastised the President and the controversial tax reforms, saying: “It is true that we are not on good terms with him (President Tinubu) because our brothers and sisters are suffering. Even we, the governors, are suffering. Aside from his policies, he does not listen to us.”
The video of the moment was posted on X by Public Affairs commentator, Abdul-Aziz Abubakar.
