Senator Shehu Sani has criticized those claiming they cannot pay salaries if the tax reform bill is enacted.
Recall that Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State had
said the state cannot pay the minimum salary if the tax reform bills are passed
adding that it will drag the northern part of the country backwards.
The bills, transmitted to the National Assembly by President
Bola Ahmed Tinubu in September, have faced stiff opposition, especially from
the north, with stakeholders calling for its withdrawal.
Also, the Northern governors, traditional rulers, and Northern
Elders Forum had rejected the proposed bills, saying they were not in the
interest of the nation but Shehu Sani on Saturday on his verified Facebook
page, criticised those against the Tax Reform bill says
“We cannot pay salaries” is not a statement in defence of
the North. It is a statement that reveals how the North is dependent on other
regions.
“If not being able to pay salaries will reconfigure the
region to look inward and depend on itself, let it be. Dignity is worthier than
money, ” he said
