Controversial tax bills: You’re just a mere content creator – Dogara tackles Ndume

A former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu
Dogara has chided the lawmaker representing Borno South Senatorial district,
Senator Ali Ndume over the latter’s consistent criticism of the President Bola
Tinubu’s government.

 

Dogara spoke on Monday at Channels TV’s Town Hall meeting on
the controversial Tax Reform Bills introduced by the executive.

 

Ndume and other northern stakeholders, including governors
have been vocal against the tax bills.

 

Senator Ndume had in an interview on Channels TV launched an
attack on some of his detractors who call him ignorant, saying he schooled in
Nigeria and America.

 

Wondering why some critics call him ignorant, Ndume said,
“I’m 65 years old. I schooled in Nigeria and in America. Because I’m wearing
Agbada and because I’m from Borno State, some people call me ignorant.

 

“I taught in polytechnics for 20 years before I joined
politics. I married two of my daughters to Yoruba men.”

 

Reacting, Dogara said intelligence is not about granting
interviews on national television stations, stressing that Ndume is a mere
content creator if his intelligence fails to proffer solutions to national
matters.

 

“Intelligence is not about going to TV Stations to be
telling us the schools you went and grades you had, intelligence is about
providing solutions, otherwise, you’re just a mere content creator,” he said.

 

Addressing the position of the northern leaders regarding
the tax bills, Dogara said, “No northern leader will ever do what Tinubu has
done by creating a livestock ministry for the north.

 

“If we get it right, the north won’t need to share VAT from
another state”.
