Bauchi state – Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed said he has the intention of having a meeting with Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir, to talk to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu about the proposed tax reform bills.

Governor Mohammed urged Tinubu to change his policies, stating that the policies are not working and the people are suffering.
The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorsâ Forum alleged that the 36 state governors are also suffering because of President Tinubuâs bad policies.

The northern stakeholders demanded the bills’ immediate suspension and called for extensive dialogue with the people who matter.
A fresh report said Tinubu was determined to address Nigeriaâs challenges and implement reforms; hence, he sent representatives to speak to the rebelling northern leaders.

The former lawmaker said the north had no moral right to threaten Tinubu with re-election when they were quiet during former president Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
