Northern leaders failed despite 40 years in power – Dogara
Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has taken a swipe on northern leaders for failing to develop the region despite decades of political dominance.
Dogara made this statement at a town hall meeting for Christian leaders in northern Nigeria on Friday, saying the region remained impoverished due to its leaders’ inability to invest in meaningful projects.
At the event, tagged “Church and Society: Tax Reforms and Matters Arising,” Dogara addressed issues surrounding governance and development in the country.
According to him, President Bola Tinubu is not the problem of the North, adding that the South had not come to cheat the northern people.
“We are all northerners, and it should be made clear that President Tinubu or the South is not our problem; they have not come to cheat the North.
“That is out of the question. Some are claiming that Yoruba people are getting appointments, but let’s reflect.
“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.

“While we have taken note of the N85,000 offer, we look forward to the upcoming meeting on Monday, Oct. 21, where we will commence discussions on this important matter.
“Organised Labour remains hopeful that through constructive dialogue, we can arrive at a more robust outcome that reflects both the economic realities of Lagos and the contributions of its workers,’’ they said.
The union leaders, who expressed optimism over the upcoming discussions, said that principles of good faith, fairness, and mutual respect would guide the negotiations.
“We are ready to work collaboratively with the government to ensure that the outcome is both beneficial to the workers and sustainable for the state.
“We remain committed to ensuring that this process upholds the highest standards of transparency and accountability.
“The welfare of workers is paramount, and we trust that our engagement with the government will result in an outcome that truly reflects the value of its workforce and the need to improve their living conditions,” they added.
