Tinubu moving Nigeria forward, wants country to progress – Ali Modu Sheriff

Former Borno State governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, on Monday, said President Bola Tinubu should be given kudos for moving Nigeria forward.

Sheriff said Tinubu has done a lot and wants Nigeria to progress, adding that the president wants freedom for states.

The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, disclosed this while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

According to Sheriff: “What President Tinubu did in this country to ensure this country moves forward, if you don’t give him kudos, you shouldn’t condemn him.

“If at the time Tinubu said there is no fuel subsidy if they didn’t revolt Nigeria won’t have paid its bills for that month. Not only that, he didn’t do that and take the money for himself, he gave it to the states.

“Google and see the 10 highest allocations of states, look at the allocation of states, some states receive as much as N55 billion in one month.

“During my 8 years as governor, the total I received was about N150 billion. Tinubu has done a lot, he wanted the country to progress and freedom for the state.

“Talking about insecurity, yes it’s the responsibility of the Federal government but what you don’t realize it that it’s also the responsibility of the state under the concurrent list, the state has the responsibility of security.”
