Tax Reform bills not dead on arrival, will be passed – Rep member, Jibrin
A lawmaker representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State in the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has expressed confidence that the controversial tax reform bills presented by President Bola Tinubu will be passed into law.
The bills have generated a lot of controversies, meeting some resistance from the Northern part of the country, with the National Executive Council also advising the president to withdraw the bills.
DAILY POST reports that the Senator representing Borno South in the National Assembly, Senator Ali Ndume, had also said that the bills were dead on arrival.
However, speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Jibrin insisted that the bills were not dead on arrival.
“It is not a consensus in the North that this bill should be shut down. And talking for myself and also how I know the National Assembly operates in terms of following procedures of the passage of the bill, I can be able to tell you authoritatively that the bill is not dead on arrival.
“I can explain to you that hundreds of clauses in these bills are things we have been pursuing for ages and I will be able to tell you this; the work that we are going to do for Nigerians to see all the clauses in detail and everything, I can confidently tell you that bill will go through the processes in the National Assembly and it will be passed,” he said.
According to him, after the passage of the bills, Nigerians will be able to know that they are not inimical to the interest of the country, nor are they inimical to the northern part of the country.
Meanwhile, in the wake of the controversy trailing the tax reform bills, President Tinubu, last week, said the document would not be withdrawn from the National Assembly.
In a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu rather explained that the bills should go through the legislative process.
