  • He accused some persons of peddling false information with the intent to create division and cause political tension through baseless insinuations that the northern governors were opposed to the president

The governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, has stated that despite the controversies surrounding the tax reform bills, President Bola Tinubu and governors of the North still enjoy a smooth and cordial relationship.

The governor expressed concern over efforts to cause rancour, resentment, division and fracture the relationship between Tinubu and the governor.

He stated that governors who worked for his emergence as president won’t turn on him now

Governor Sule spoke when he received a delegation from the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, who visited him at the Government House in Lafia on Wednesday.

He explained that what the northern governors wanted was further consultation on the tax reform bill before the National Assembly, which encompasses the Value Added Tax.

He accused some persons of peddling false information with the intent to create division and cause political tension through baseless insinuations that the northern governors were opposed to the president.

According to Sule, people who were opposed to Tinubu’s presidency are now pretending to be his better supporters more than those who fought for his victory.

“For some people making noise and saying the Northern governors are fighting the President, nobody is fighting the President. How could you fight a President who has made you look good? This is the truth. All we are saying is that some aspects of it, we need to look into it,” he said.

Sule thanked President Tinubu for enacting policies that have made governance and development easy in Nasarawa State without going into debt, saying he could not kick against a leader who has made meaningful contributions to the state’s progress.

The governor said there was a need for better understanding of some of the provisions in the tax reform bills. “We called for the withdrawal of the bills to review some aspects. They said it’s a wrong language, that amendments can be made without withdrawing the bills. I said that’s fine. I’m not looking for any trouble,” he explained.
