WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, has claimed that Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State is using criticism of President Bola Tinubu over tax reforms to launch his 2027 presidential ambition. According to him, the Bauchi State governor showed that he does not have sincerity of purpose in his criticism of President Tinubu. “Governor Bala Mohammed showed clearly that he does not have any sincerity of purpose,” Tugar said on the programme. “It is not that other governors did not try to interrogate the tax bill when it was presented which is a good thing as a matter of fact so that Nigerians get the best out of the bill, but what Bala Mohammed proceeded to do was to use it as a platform to launch his presidential campaign very early in the day. “He was the most severe in his invectives towards the president, towards the administration with his vituperations towards the president and the administration.” The Minister said Governor Mohammed has been trying to secure an audience with Tinubu following his criticism of the president on the tax reform bills.
