Concerned by the developmental challenges in Northern Nigeria, former Governor of Kano State Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso on Thursday, accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of a lopsided distribution of the commonwealth in Nigeria.
Besides, Kwankwaso lamented that while the Northern region continued to struggle with limited resources, the Federal Government, under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), was busy allocating substantial resources to developmental projects in the South.
Kwankwaso, the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), spoke during a Stakeholders’ Dialogue on the 2025 Constitutional Amendment organised by the Kano State government.
He said, “From the information available to us, it’s like most of the national budget is now tilting in one direction in this country.”
“That is why we have insecurity, we have poverty and so on. It is happening here mainly, but like a desert, it would go everywhere. Most roads in the northern region remain in a deplorable condition, whilst the APC government continues to allocate lump budgetary provisions for infrastructural development in the southern region,” Kwankwaso lamented.
He urged the Tinubu administration to improve and ensure the equitable distribution of scarce resources for the development of all parts of the country.
