“Tinubu Govt Neglecting Development In North, Paying Attention To South Only” — Kwankwaso

Former presidential candidate of New Nigerian Peoples Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration for what he described as neglect of northern part of the country.

Mr. Kwankwaso accused Federal Government of diverting national resources to develop southern Nigeria where the president hails from.

The former governor of Kano State led this out on Thursday at the Kano State Stakeholders’ Dialogue on 2025 Constitutional Amendment.

Kwankwaso said that most roads in the northern region remained in deplorable condition, whilst Tinubu’s government continued to allocate lump budgetary allocations for infrastructural development in the southern region.

He said: “Let me advise the Federal Government on the distribution of federal resources.

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

“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.

“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 3pm to 8pm. 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.”
