Former Senator, Shehu Sani has called on Northerners not to reject economic reforms introduced by the federal government.
Recently, Governors of the 19 North ern States, under the platform of the North ern Governors’ Forum at a meeting in Kaduna, rejected the new derivation-based model for Value-Added Tax distribution in the new tax reform bills before the National Assembly. However, in a reaction on his verified Facebook page on Saturday, Sani advised the North ern governors 'not to be afraid of any economic reform, especially reforms that are pushing it to look inwards and develop and depend on its resources.
'Whether with good or mischievous intent, pushing you out of your comfort zone is directly propelling you to walk with pride, with confidence and with that independence you existentially and eternally need. 'The dignified and moral answer to anyone who challenges you to stand alone is to stand alone, there will be problems, huddles, storms and turbulence in the beginning, but with courage, tenacity and resilience you will learn to overcome them and emerge stronger.
