The Executive Secretary, National Institute for Cultural Orientation, Biodun Ajiboye, has said that people who are behind the North Agenda against president Bola Tinubu are acting out of personal bitterness.
Ajiboye stated this on Thursday when he appeared as a guest on Arise Television’s ‘The Morning Show’.
According to him, all the statistics available concerning President Tinubu’s choice of projects and appointments have been skewed positively towards the northern part of Nigeria, adding that the North has the biggest chunk of projects in the nation.
“There is no one government that can solve the problem of a people.Whether Nigeria or in any other country. You realise that we don’t have all the revenue in the world. Nigeria was broke when President Tinubu took over.
“That the president sent 60 appointees to attend the Arewa meeting, is a mark of respect for the North and not a sign of weakness. If you say this government has not done enough, let the people that have been doing come and tell you how much they have done. That’s the language. It’s not a consequence of panic.
“If Gombe state is saying that there is no federal presence, let the governor come and tell us what he has been doing with the federal allocation that has tripled in the last two years. What federal presence does he want,” Ajiboye asked.
