The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG), has condemned former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara over his recent comments where he showed support for President Bola Tinubu while blaming past northern leaders over the backwardness of the region.
Yakubu had, while delivering a keynote address at a town hall meeting for Christian leaders in northern Nigeria on Friday, said the region has remained impoverished due to its leaders’ inability to invest in meaningful projects when they were in power for over four decades.
Speaking at the event with the theme “Church and Society: Tax Reforms and Matters Arising,” Dogara stated that President Tinubu is not the problem of the North, adding that the South had not come to cheat the northern people.
