Kano state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, says his colleagues from the southern and northern parts of the country have no reason to be at loggerheads over Value Added Tax (VAT) collection and the power shift to the southern part of the country.
The controversies had caused disagreement between some southern governors against their northern counterparts in recent times.
But Ganduje said on Friday in Kano that the disagreement is promoting disunity in the country.
“All governors were voted not to divide Nigeria, but to make Nigeria one for progress and development,” Ganduje said.
“It is unfortunate that the two are exchanging uncomplimentary languages to each other,” he said.
Ganduje called on chairman of Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF), and Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi, to convene a meeting to find a solution to the crisis.
He said there is an urgent need for the meeting in the interest of unity, socio-economic and political development of the country.
Ganduje said it is important that the governors “forgive each other and forge ahead together.”
