Southern, Northern Governors’ rift over VAT, Power shift unnecessary – Ganduje
Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje has reacted to the tussle between his counterparts from the southern and northern parts of the country who have been to be at loggerheads over the issues of Value added Tax and power shift.
Speaking on Friday after the Independence Day parade in Kano state, Ganduje described the development as “unfortunate and unnecessary”.
Ganduje also stated that the disagreement is promoting disunity in the country, stressing that the unity of the country is paramount.
“Therefore, I will like to seize this opportunity to call on all elites, members of the public, all stakeholders and all nationalities irrespective of religious and ethnic inclinations to come together and make sure that Nigeria continues to be unified, and our unity to grow from strength to strength,” he said.
“All governors were voted not to divide Nigeria, but to make Nigeria one for progress and development.
“It is unfortunate that the two are exchanging uncomplimentary languages to each other.”
Ganduje also called on Ekiti state governor and chairman of Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF), Kayode Fayemi to convene a meeting to find a solution to the crisis.
He stated that it is important that the governors “forgive each other and forge ahead together”.
When there’s no equity there won’t be unity
Why is the North wants to stick with the power after you have done your good solid eight years? That’s unfair
It doesn’t create disunity, you are the one creating it
When you people are not ready to move Nigeria forward except your selfishness
you are part of the problems this country has and untill we get rid of you people only then we will have peace…..
