The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has urged President Bola Tinubu to backtrack on the tax policy reforms as it could lead to anarchy.
He made the call during the Christmas Day celebration organised in Bauchi on Thursday.
According to him, the policy does not in any way favour the North, adding that the governors would not be able to pay salaries.
He said, “To the tax reforms- it is not a good policy for northern Nigeria because we are not going to get money to pay you salaries.
“They must listen, otherwise, they are calling for anarchy and that is not good. We voted for the president in the state and other states.
“They must listen to us! They must not come up with a policy that favours only one state in the country.
“It is not about religion. It is not about tribe. It is about national unity. It is about national hegemony.
“We are all about good leadership, and we will continue to urge them for the time being, but if the situation persists, they will see our real colour. We are going to fight for it.”
He also called on Christians to pray for Nigeria.
According to him, religion should not be a tool to divide the people.
