Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has launched a scathing attack on northern leaders, accusing them of failing to develop the region despite decades of political dominance. Dogara’s remarks were made at a town hall meeting for Christian leaders in northern Nigeria, where he emphasized that the region’s impoverished state is a direct result of its leaders’ inability to invest in meaningful projects.
At the event, tagged “Church and Society: Tax Reforms and Matters Arising,” Dogara tackled issues surrounding governance and development in the country. He vehemently denied that President Bola Tinubu or the South is the problem facing the North, instead pointing fingers at northern leaders themselves.
“We ruled this country for over 40 years when northerners were in power. What did we achieve? The North remains the same, impoverished by our own leaders,” Dogara said. His statement highlights the stark reality of the North’s underdevelopment, despite having held power for an extended period.
Dogara’s comments serve as a wake-up call for northern leaders to take responsibility for their actions and work towards developing the region. By acknowledging the failures of the past, Dogara hopes to inspire a new era of leadership that prioritizes the well-being and prosperity of the North.
