Northern Youth Assembly (Majalisar Matasan Arewa), has condemned the endorsement of President Tinubu’s tax reforms by Abdulmuminu Jibrin, a legislator representing Kiru / Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State.
In a statement issued today (Tuesday, November 12) by Mohammed Hussaini Bauchi, National Assistant Publicity Secretary, the group held that the tax reforms would exacerbate the burdens of businesses and families in Northern Nigeria that are already struggling due to persistent unreliable power supply, inconsistent government policies and poor access to essential services
The statement held that the legislator should not have supported the initiative given the fact that the proposed tax reform bill “does not favour his constituents, Kano State people and the entire Northern Nigeria.”
“Our disappointment is more on your vow to prioritize the passage of Tinubu’s evil tax reform bills in the National Assembly,” they stated further.
” It is very practical that the North faces a barrage of critical issues such as acute shortage of electricity supply, rampant insecurity across the region, naked poverty, unemployment and a dismal state of infrastructure, to name just a few,” they stated.
“Northern Nigerian requires only the leaders who could speak in the interest of the region, not hired lobbyists who would do everything to misguide and deceive their people for some cheap political gains.
“We are committed to fighting this cause with our last drop of blood, exposing the evil ones who are ready to auction the North, as we could no longer surrender our destiny into the hands of political merchants, betrayers and political hypocrites.
“The proposed Tinubu Tax Reform Bill is evil and that’s why the National Economic Advisory Council rejected the Bill in the first place, while people like you are trying to justify what is wrong in its totality.”
