Kwankwaso alleges Tinubu’s govt develops South, abandons North

The former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Thursday lamented that President Bola Tinubu’s administration channeled the country’s resources to develop the South to the detriment of the North.

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) leader stated this at the Kano State Stakeholders’ Dialogue on the 2025 Constitutional Amendment.

He also faulted the Federal Government’s allocation of resources between the two regions.

Kwankwaso pointed out that majority of the roads in the North are in poor condition while the government focused on the infrastructural development of the South.

He appealed to the government to ensure the equitable distribution of resources to all parts of the country.

The ex-governor said: “Let me advise those who are struggling by all means to take everything to remember that some of the issues that we have in this part of the country today have to do with the lack of enough resources and mismanagement of the little that comes in.

“From the information available to us, it’s like most of the national budget is now tilting in one direction in this country.

“That is why we have insecurity, we have poverty and so on. It is happening here mainly, but like a desert, it would go everywhere.

“Yesterday, I was to come by air, but unfortunately, my airline decided to shift our takeoff from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. I had to come by road. From Abuja to Kaduna to Kano was a hell. Terrible. Very bad road. This is a road started many years ago, right from the beginning of the leadership of the APC.

“Now, we are told that there is a road from the South to the East. We support infrastructure anywhere in this country and any other thing that is good for the masses.

“ But a situation where government is taking our resources and dumping it in one part of the country and other parts of the country are left just like that, I don’t believe that is the right thing to do by the government itself.

“This is the time for the government to change, to convince our people that the government is not just on one side of the country.”
