December 30, 2024 5:09 pmThe presidency has asked Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi state, to withdraw his recent comments against President Bola Tinubu regarding the proposed tax reform bills.
In a statement on Monday, Sunday Dare, the president’s special adviser on media and public communication, described Mohammed’s remarks as “inflammatory rhetoric” and “direct threats toward the federal government”.He said the governor’s comments were “particularly concerning and does not reflect the constructive dialogue needed between state and FG”.He advised Mohammed to focus on addressing poverty and ensuring the effective use of federal resources rather than issuing threats.
“As a state governor, he is called to exemplify statesmanship and work toward national cohesion. I urge him to retract these confrontational remarks and redirect his focus toward productive dialogue with the FG regarding any concerns about the Tax Reform Act.”Highlighting the potential benefits of the reforms, Dare said that collaboration, rather than division, is essential for Nigeria’s progress.
