Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has affirmed that Northern governors are quarrelling with President Bola Tinubu.

Mohammed, who disclosed the reason for the quarrel, however, deployed the royal “we” in referring to his Northern counterparts.

The governor said they’re quarrelling with Tinubu because his policies are not working but inflicting untold sufferings to their people.

Mohammed who called on the President to listen to the complaints of Nigerians and reconsider his policies to address Nigerians’ plights spoke when he received a delegation of Islamic scholars led by Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir on Wednesday.

“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.”

He added: “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.”

Mohammed further 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.”

Recall that this is the third time Mohammed would be criticising the Tinubu administration and its policies within a month.

The Bauchi governor had, on December, faulted Tinubu’s tax reform policy stressing that his insistence on implementing the tax reform could attract disaffection from Northern politicians.
