Senator Ali Ndume has voiced strong opposition to President Bola Tinubu’s proposed tax reforms bill, calling for it to be withdrawn for further review. Ndume criticized his colleagues in the Senate for hastily pushing the bill forward without adequate deliberation, raising concerns about its potential economic implications.
The proposed reforms aim to increase government revenue by introducing new taxes and expanding the existing tax base. However, Ndume argued that the bill, in its current form, places an undue burden on ordinary Nigerians and businesses already struggling with inflation and economic instability. He emphasized the need for a more balanced approach to taxation.
Ndume’s stance has sparked debate among lawmakers, with some supporting his call for caution while others believe the reforms are essential for Nigeria’s economic recovery. The senator has urged the government to prioritize public welfare and ensure that any new tax policies are equitable and carefully considered.
