The bills passed the second reading a day after Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, and other officials appeared before the Senate on Tuesday to explain their purpose. Mr Ibrahim said President Tinubu insisted on bills despite opposition from the National Economic Council, Northern Governors’ Forum, and Islamic groups, which have identified grey areas in them.
“We must salute our Senator Ali Ndume for his firm opposition to the tax reform bill. We are also calling on other lawmakers supporting it to refrain from it because they are not representing the will of their people. Several clerics in the northern part of the country were captured in a trending video criticising the bills.
“There are about two or three steps for these bills to become law. There is nothing to worry about; we are on top of the situation, and we will do the right thing as the representatives of the people,” he said.However, a group, Kano Concerned Citizens, accused Mr Ndume of creating unnecessary debate on the issue while portraying some of his colleagues as either opponents or proponents of the bill.
“It is important to emphasize that Senator Barau did not introduce the bill, nor did he express his personal opinion on it. Instead, he facilitated the process by allowing Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, and other experts to make a presentation to the Senate. This same presentation had been made to the House of Representatives and the Nigeria Governors’ Forum without similar controversy,” the Kano group stated.
“We strongly warn Senator Ndume to desist from using the tax reform saga as a tool to tarnish the image and reputation of Senator Barau Jibrin.
