The Deputy National Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Prince Nwaeze Onu, has called on President Bola Tinubu to suspend the proposed tax reform bills to allow for wider consultation with stakeholders across the country.
Onu made this appeal in his New Year message to Nigerians, which was released to journalists in Abuja today.
The appeal follows President Tinubu’s recent nationwide broadcast, where he declared that there would be no going back on the tax reform bills.
Recall The four proposed legislations, which have passed a second reading at the National Assembly, have drawn significant criticism in recent weeks, particularly from the 19 Northern governors and other regional stakeholders.
The NNPP chieftain insisted that such sensitive bills should not be passed unilaterally adding that the current government must revise some of its policies to positively impact Nigerians and provide them with hope for a better future.
