In a bold statement on his X account, Senator Ali Ndume has reiterated the North’s pivotal role in Nigeria’s unity and progress.
“The North has never been, and will never be, a parasite or dependent on any region. We are an asset to Nigeria, not a liability,” he declared, sparking widespread discussions.
Addressing concerns about the ongoing tax reforms, Ndume dismissed claims that they disproportionately target Northern interests. “These laws impact all low- and middle-income Nigerians alike. Any suggestion to the contrary is misguided,” he clarified.
The Senator’s remarks come amid rising debates on regional equity and economic reforms under President Tinibu’s administration, further highlighting the North’s resilience and contributions to the nation.
Observers say Ndume’s message underscores a broader call for national unity and fairness in implementing policies.
