Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has publicly defended Northern governors’ resistance to specific aspects of President Bola Tinubu’s
proposed tax reform bill, underscoring their continued support for Tinubu's administration.
He explained that the governor focuses on the potential impact of VAT distribution changes on Northern regions, not on rejecting the reform’s broader objectives. However, the Northern Governors’ Forum, led by Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Inuwa, has voiced concerns about the VAT-sharing formula, fearing it may financially disadvantage Northern states.
