The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has called on President Bola Tinubu to reconsider the proposed tax policy reforms, warning that they could result in widespread unrest.
He made this appeal during the Christmas Day celebration in Bauchi on Thursday.
Governor Mohammed stated that the policy would not benefit the Northern region and expressed concerns that it would leave governors unable to meet their payroll obligations.

He said, “To the tax reforms- it is not a good policy for northern Nigeria because we are not going to get money to pay you salaries.
“They must listen, otherwise, they are calling for anarchy and that is not good. We voted for the president in the state and other states.
“They must listen to us! They must not come up with a policy that favours only one state in the country.
“It is not about religion. It is not about tribe. It is about national unity. It is about national hegemony.
“We are all about good leadership, and we will continue to urge them for the time being, but if the situation persists, they will see our real colour. We are going to fight for it.”
