Punch reports that there have been reactions to Aliko Dangote's advice to state governors in northern Nigeria to do their utmost to tackle poverty.

Supporting Dangote, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, and a former governor of old Kaduna, said: “I agree with Aliko Dangote, our governors are part and parcel of our problem especially in the area of corruption. These governors are engaged in massive stealing, corruption and waste of public resources.

“The North certainly has no business with poverty but we are certainly not making progress with the kind of leadership we have both at the federal level and in the various northern states today.”
