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 the 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 behemoth 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.
From his words; “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 is taking all of it in good faith.
He further said this in conclusion; “I hope that the reason why, if anything happens in 2027, will not be because of this bill, because that way, we will be doing an injustice, not only to him, but to the whole of this country, Nigeria,”
