Tinubu Under Fire: Northern politicians Called him Lagos Boy for Indirectly Moving FCT to Lagos

Tinubu Under Fire: Northern politicians Called him Lagos Boy for Indirectly Moving FCT to Lagos
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In a recent turn of events, President Bola Tinubu finds himself at the center of controversy, facing sharp criticism from northern politicians for a decision that hints at moving the Federal Capital Territory’s (FCT) essence to Lagos. 

The uproar follows the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s internal memo directing the relocation of key departments to Lagos which is the FAAN and CBN, a move seen by many as undermining the FCT’s significance. This delves into the concerns raised by Senator Ali Ndume, former senator of Nigeria,

The Controversial Shift from FCT to Lagos

Senator Ali Ndume, the Chief Whip of the Senate, has expressed vehement opposition to President Tinubu’s tacit approval of relocating CBN departments from the FCT to Lagos. This move, perceived as an attempt to decongest the Abuja headquarters, has sparked a debate on the real intentions behind the decision and its potential to sideline the Northern region, further deepening regional disparities.

The relocation decision has not only raised eyebrows over administrative logistics but also signaled potential political fallout. Ndume warns of “political consequences” if the move is not reversed, emphasizing that the presidency’s legitimacy extends beyond Lagos’ borders. This segment highlights the broader political implications and the urgent call for reassessment to maintain national cohesion.

The Lagos Bias: A Misguided Cartel at Play?

The criticism extends to a perceived “Lagos Boys” cartel influencing President Tinubu, accused of narrow-mindedness and a lack of comprehensive understanding of Nigeria’s diverse fabric. Ndume’s remarks reflect a deep-seated concern over the decision-making process, suggesting that such moves could alienate significant portions of the Nigerian populace and exacerbate regional tensions.

Beyond the political, the practical aspects of moving key departments to Lagos pose significant challenges, including increased operational costs and risks to employees. This section examines the logistical nightmares and financial implications of such a move, questioning the wisdom behind favoring Lagos over more geographically logical alternatives near the FCT.

“We only have one federal capital and that is Abuja. All these Lagos boys thinking that Lagos is Nigeria are just misinforming or advising the president wrongly.”

– Senator Ali Ndume on moving some departments of CBN and FAAN headquarters to Lagos.

A Unified Nigeria vs. Regional Favoritism

At the heart of the controversy is the broader question of national unity versus regional favoritism. With accusations of Tinubu being a “Lagos Boy,” the debate opens up critical discussions on federal representation, the distribution of national resources, and the importance of upholding the FCT’s role as the country’s unifying capital.

As President Tinubu faces mounting pressure to reconsider the relocation of CBN departments to Lagos, the essence of this debate transcends mere administrative decisions. It touches on the core of national identity, unity, and equitable development. 

The coming days will be crucial in determining whether Tinubu heeds the call to prioritize national interests over regional biases, a decision that could either bridge divides or deepen them. The hope remains that the president will act as a “nationalist, not just a Lagos man,” ensuring that Nigeria’s fabric remains intact and stronger than ever.
