NORTHERN LEADERS FAILED DESPITE 40 YEARS IN POWER – DOGARA
Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has criticized northern leaders for their inability to advance the region’s development, despite holding political power for several decades.
Speaking at a town hall meeting with Christian leaders in northern Nigeria on Friday, Dogara stated that the region continues to face poverty because its leaders have failed to invest in impactful and transformative projects.
At the event, tagged “Church and Society: Tax Reforms and Matters Arising,” Dogara addressed issues surrounding governance and development in the country.
According to him, President Bola Tinubu is not the problem of the North, adding that the South had not come to cheat the northern people.
“We are all northerners, and it should be made clear that President Tinubu or the South is not our problem; they have not come to cheat the North.
“That is out of the question. Some are claiming that Yoruba people are getting appointments, but let’s reflect.
“We ruled this country for over 40 years when northerners were in power. What did we achieve? The North remains the same, impoverished by our own leaders,” Dogara said.
