Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has criticised President Bola Tinubu, saying his economic reform policies are putting the North and Nigerians at large under strain
Mohammed said he is not on good terms with the President, whom he accused of not listening to the people.
The governor made the claims when he received the 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.
Public Affairs commentator, Abdul-Aziz Abubakar, shared a video of the Governor’s remarks on his X handle on Wednesday.
“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,” Mohammed told Jingir, who was a staunch proponent of the Muslim-Muslim ticket that brought Tinubu to power in May 2023.
He expressed frustration over the president’s refusal to address the hardship, adding that the North has been particularly affected by the recent tax reforms proposed by the Federal Government.
The governor underscored the vulnerability of the North, arguing that many northern states rely heavily on federal allocations to survive.
