Shehu Sani, the Senator
representing Kaduna Central, has reacted to a warning by the National Leader of
the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to the
President Muhammadu Buhari government.
Tinubu had on Thursday advised
the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government not to increase the value added
tax (VAT).
Tinubu stated this while speaking
at the colloquium held in commemoration of his 67th birthday on Wednesday in
Abuja.
He said increasing VAT was
tantamount to reducing the purchasing power of the people.
“I must say this to Prof Osinbajo
and his team, don’t increase VAT but increase tax net to accommodate those who
are not yet paying.
“Don’t reduce the people’s
purchasing power,” Tinubu said.We must criticise ourselves,” he said.
Reacting, Sani queried the
presidency for being silent about Tinubu’s statement.
On his Twitter page, Sani wrote:
“Jagaban has spoken his truth and they are quiet, but if it’s another person
they would have counter or ask why are you embarrassing the President publicly
‘when you have private channels of advising him’.”
