Northern Govs Against Tax Reform Bills Lazy, Responsible For Insecurity–Shinkafi by femisplash(op): 6:47pm On Dec 02, 2024
The Executive Director of Patriots for Advancement of Peace and Social Development, Dr Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi has lambasted the northern governors resisting the proposed tax reform bills.

In an interview with Arise TV on Monday, Shinkafi described the governors as “lazy” and unwilling to develop strategies to generate internal revenue.
According to him, the governors who are claiming that the tax bills will increase hardship in the northern part of the country “are responsible for the failure of the economy, chronic insecurity, unemployment, poverty, and educational backwardness in the northern region.”


Shinkafi strongly defended the contentious tax reform bills amidst criticisms, particularly from northern governors, describing the opposition as politically motivated and based on misinformation.

Shinkafi also said “the attack by the Northern Youth Assembly is uncalled for,” stressing that the Deputy Senate President, who presided over the proceedings, was fulfilling his constitutional duties.

North is the sole problem of North.
North created Insecurity to kill Northerners(Boko Haram, Bandits, Iswap, Lakurawa, etc)

I understand Zulum's stand but he (Zulum) is not thinking for states like Kano, Kaduna, Kogi, Plateau and the likes with some level of activities. VAT is not the only money shared in FAAC

They want to be deriving 1bn monthly and be collecting 10bn allocation from FAAC,e don cast.they will pay tax on each cow sold.
Their main business which is agriculture and animal husbandry self is exempted from the tax reform so they still have it all in terms of advantage.they should look for a way to harness their mineral resources so as to generate revenue for their development.
SLS told them that times like this will come in the future but they never knew the future was so close,they ignored him and dethroned him.

Tinubu is a jinx breaker. There are some powerful northerners behind Tinubu that really wants progress for the North. Forget about those greedy noisy ones.

After God na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria.

The old sharing formula supports insurgency, over population with no clear cut for innovation. A lot of the critics doesn’t have problem with the reform itself but the timing, consultation which I see as insulting.
There is no better time than now. Anybody standing on the way of this reform is against development. I love Tinubu for being stubborn and adamant. That is the kind of leadership we want. Fearless, ambitious and innovative leaders not all these ‘make e no spoil for my head’ politicians.

If the bill is Anti North as they claim then the north had been sitting on the progress of Nigeria and time to stand up.
