President Tinubu has been receiving serious outbursts from key political figures in the region over his government’s decision to relocate FAAN and some departments in CBN.

Apart from the Elders, Ali Ndume, the Senate Chief Whip also kicked against the decision, saying President Tinubu is pursuing a ‘Lagos’ agenda, which he said is against the interest of the north.

Matawalle dismissed the suggestion, warning those peddling such not to cause hatred and disunity in the country.

He said, “Do Katsina Elders have the right to speak on behalf of Northern people? How can the elders who failed to support the President and their own, former President Muhammadu Buhari, to win Katsina State, make such a reckless statement on behalf of Northern people?

“Katsina Elders have forgotten how they betrayed Buhari and President Tinubu by their failure to ensure that President Tinubu wins the majority of votes in their state in the 2023 presidential election.

“Is the protest by Katsina Elders during the 2023 presidential election against former President Muhammadu Buhari, who asked them to support President Tinubu, not embarrassing enough?
