- Abdullahi Sule, the governor of Nasarawa state, has said the 19 northern governors were not against President Bola Tinubu
- Sule maintained that it would not make any sense for the north that worked effortlessly to ensure that President Tinubu emerged victorious would now turn against him
- However, the Nasarawa state governor maintained that the governors were rejecting the VAT bill because it wouldn’t be fair to the region
Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has categorically denied rumours that the northern region of Nigeria is opposed to President Bola Tinubu’s administration. The controversy started when the Northern Governors’ Forum rejected the proposed Tax Reform Bill sent to the National Assembly.
However, in an interview on Channels TV, Governor Sule clarified that the north’s opposition to the bill stems from its unfairness to the region, not from any dislike towards President Tinubu.
