Amid stiff opposition from Northern governors and other stakeholders, a former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani has expressed support for the controversial Tax Reform Bill.
DAILY POST recalls that northern governors on October 28 rejected the tax reform bill sent to the National Assembly by President Bola Tinubu’s government.
Shortly after the governors declared their position on the bill, the National Economic Council, NEC, comprising members of the Nigerian Governors Forum advised the President to withdraw the controversial bill.
However, Tinubu in a statement by his media aide, Bayo Onanuga said on Friday that the proposed bill will go through legislative processes.
Reacting to the controversy, Shehu Sani in a statement on his X handle, said, “The Tax reform Bill is not inimical to the North or any part of this country.”
According to him, the bill is “economically beneficial and fair to all parts”.
“People should keep aside sentiments and read the Bill carefully.
“Its a comprehensive and bold move to harmonise and simplify tax administration and streamline its operations and enforcement.The Bill will actually generate and safeguard more revenue to the states.
“It will also combat the corruption in the so-called tax waivers granted to business cabals.
“There is nowhere in the document where any region will be shortchanged or taxes will be increased or jobs will be lost.
“Northern Governors should rescind their decision to reject the Bill,take time to read it and make inputs where necessary.
“NASS must treat this important Bill with all seriousness.”
