An Open Letter by Northern Youth Assembly (Majalisar Matasan Arewa) To Hon. Abdulmumini Jibrin, a member representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency in Kano State
Dear Hon.
YOU ARE A POLITICAL DISAPPOINTMENT TO THE NORTH AND YOUR EVIL CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE NORTHERN NIGERIAN INTEREST IN RESPECT OF THE MALEVOLENT AND ANTI – NORTH TAX REFORM BILL SHALL NOT SUCCEED
The Northern Youth Assembly (Majalisar Matasan Arewa), on behalf of the 19 Northern States leadership of the Assembly, wishes to express our unequivocal disappointment in you, following a recent TV interview you granted, and outrightly endorsed the evil plan to undermine the North, and further relegate the region economically and commercially. Your shameful act of publicly supporting the proposed tax reform bill put forth by the Tinubu administration, is the highest order of disrespect to your constituents, Kano State people and the entire Northern Nigeria
As representatives of the Northern Nigerian youth, we believe that this proposal, in its current form, will disproportionately affect the economic livelihoods and aspirations of our people, without taking into cognisance the current economic reality in the country
Our disappointment is more on your vow to prioritize the passage of Tinubu’s evil tax reform bills in the National Assembly. While the proposed tax reform may be of so much interest to the people at the centre, however, your unwavering enthusiasm to champion the bill, that is clearly anti-North, exposes your misguided commitment to the course of protecting the interest of those you represent. It is very practical that the North faces a barrage of critical issues such as: acute shortage of electricity supply, rampant insecurity across the region, naked poverty, unemployment and a dismal state of infrastructure, to name just a few.
It is our belief that these are some of the challenges your constituents suffer from, and the purpose of your election was to fundamentally champion the course to address them through effective legislation and advocacy, rather than dedicating your legislative energy to serve some agenda that could further marginalize the Northern Nigerian people, the region where you come from. It would be wiser and more beneficial for you to prioritize your focus towards championing the course to alleviating the pressing socio-economic challenges ravaging the people in the North. This tax reform, in its current form, threatens to exacerbate the burdens of businesses and families in Northern Nigeria—businesses that are already struggling to survive due to unreliable power, inconsistent policy, Federal Government support and poor access to essential services.
Northern Nigerian requires only the leaders who could speak in the interest of the region, not hired lobbyists who would do everything to misguide and deceive their people for some cheap political gains.
We wish to inform you that, Northern Youth Assembly,n is highly disappointed for the likes of you, who would be engaged in supporting Tinubu’s evil plan of destroying the North.
We are committed to fight this course with our last drop of blood, expose the evil ones who are ready to auction the North, as we could no longer surrender our destiny into the hands of political merchants, betrayers and political hypocrites
The proposed Tinubu Tax Reform Bill, is evil and that was the reason why, the National Economic Advisory Council, rejected the bill in the first place, while people like you are trying to justify right, what is wrong in its totality
Signed.
Comrade Mohammed Hussaini Bauchi,
National Assistant publicity Secretary
