President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on social media, Dada Olusegun, has called out the 2023 New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, over his stance on the controversial tax reform bills.
Naija News reports that Kwankwaso, on Monday, had urged Tinubu to reconsider his stance on the tax reform bills in the interest of Nigerians.
The former Kano State governor argued that it is not the right time for Tinubu to propose the bills.
However, reacting via X, Olusegun stated that Kwankwaso also promised to carry out the same tax reforms.
Olusegun said the same tax reform being undertaken by Tinubu was part of Kwankwaso’s manifesto in 2023.
He wrote, “Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso in his 2023 campaign manifesto vowed to do this exact tax reforms that he is today opposing vehemently.
“Let him or his people deny it. The manifesto is in public domain for those who don’t believe.”
The four tax reform bills- the Nigeria Tax Bill 2024, the Tax Administration Bill, the Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Bill, and the Joint Revenue Board Establishment Bill, are currently before both chambers of the National Assembly for passage.
The bills have been tagged in some quarters as anti-North, with the extra argument that it would only benefit Lagos and Rivers States.
