The Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, has responded to the question on the new Tax Reform Bills stopping President Bola Tinubu’s second term bid.
During a town hall meeting organised by Channels Television
to discuss the controversies surrounding the bills, the Chairman was asked if
he realised he may be causing President Bola Tinubu a second term.
The question came amid the feelings that the bills have
caused upset among some political heavyweights in the country, especially the
Northern region.
However, Oyedele hoped that if anything happens to the
President in 2027 it would not be because of the bill, insisting the bills were
for the benefits of all Nigerians.
“I feel really very sorry for Mr President, even though he
says nobody should feel sorry for him.
“And it’s just Nigerians from all over Nigeria who came up
with this analysis, using data to make those recommendations, but they bring
everything on him. But as a leader, he’s taking all of it in good faith.
“I hope that the reason why, if anything happens in 2027,
will not be because of this bill, because that way, we’ll be doing an
injustice, not only to him, but to the whole of this country, Nigeria,” he
said.
