Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has confessed that he is not on good terms with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Naija News reports that this comes after Mohammed failed to visit Tinubu during the yuletide season when the Nigerian Governors Forum paid the President a courtesy visit at his Bourdilion home in Lagos State but stated that his absence was nothing political.
However, speaking during a courtesy visit to the Chief Promoter of the Muslim-Muslim Ticket, Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir, Bala Mohammed accused Tinubu of implementing policies detrimental to the country’s progress and well-being.
The Governor expressed frustration over Tinubu’s refusal to address the hardships caused by his administration’s policies, claiming that the President is a leader who does not listen to the people’s voices. 
He said, “Tinubu and I are not on good terms because his policies are causing hardship for the citizens.”
Mohammed also emphasized the North’s economic vulnerabilities, noting that many states in the region depend heavily on federal allocations for survival.
He warned that President Tinubu‘s proposed tax reform bill would worsen the region’s challenges, plunging it into further economic strain.
The Governor urged Sheikh Jingir to use his influence to appeal to Tinubu to reconsider his stance on some of his policies and a more inclusive approach to governance that prioritizes the needs of all Nigerians, particularly the economically disadvantaged regions.
He added, “The North, unfortunately, heavily relies on federal allocation to survive. The reforms he is proposing will put the region under dire strain.
“Thank God you are alive today to use your wise words of wisdom in this regards because us politicians tend to use harsh words in our approach, i believe you can inform the change we require.”
