Bala Mohammed of Bauchi states claims that the tax reforms will deny the north of paying salary, building roads etc.

Bala Mohammed was minister of FCT from 2010 to 2015. How much was allocated to his ministry for projects in those 5 years and how many projects did he complete? What are his achievements?

Nyesom Wike became minister of FCT 18 months ago. How much was allocated to him for projects till date? And how many projects has Wike completed.

In the last 18 months how much has Bala collected from FAAC and how many projected has he completed since then?

Mohammed Bago of Niger came into office 18 months ago, his capital expenditure budget for 2025 is N1.5 trillion. How much is Bala’s capital expenditure for 2025?

I haven’t heard Bago complained about the tax reforms. But from the ways Bago is going about his Niger state business, he seems to want Niger state to have businesses and productions that will be adding values and contributors to VAT and Nigeria GDP.

States like Ekiti, Ondo, Niger, Enugu, Lagos have embraced the power sector deregulation and are bracing up to make their states electricity self sufficient and independent. This will definitely lead to growth in their GDP. I haven’t heard such from Bala’s Bauchi.

Bala seems to be a politician who seems to believe in collecting and not creating and contributing. May be he should visit Bago for some tutorial.

Tomorrow Bala will tell us he’s qualified to be president. We can’t trace his achievements in FCT and by how much he has grown Bauchi GDP. With governors like Bago, Oyebanji, Mbah, etc it seems the era of politicians like Bala is gradually coming to end in Nigeria.

If governors are growing the economy of their states and their economy is adding values, they can’t be complaining that they will be shortchanged. They will be contributing and definitely they will part in sharing.
