Abdulmumin Jibrin Confident Tinubu’s Tax Reform Bills Will Pass Despite Opposition
National Assembly member Abdulmumin Jibrin has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu’s tax reform bills will be approved, despite criticism from some Northern stakeholders and calls for withdrawal by the National Executive Council.
Jibrin, representing Kano’s Kiru/Bebeji Constituency, stated on Channels Television that opposition to the reforms is not unanimous in the North and stressed his commitment to advancing the legislation.
“It is not a consensus in the North that this bill should be shut down… the bill will go through the processes in the National Assembly and it will be passed,” he asserted, emphasizing the reforms’ alignment with national goals.
President Tinubu, through his adviser Bayo Onanuga, also encouraged the National Assembly to allow the legislative process to proceed, expressing openness to consultations to address any concerns.
Italian club AS Roma has reappointed Claudio Ranieri as head coach, marking his third stint with the team.
The 73-year-old will transition into a “senior executive role” at the end of the 2024/25 season, where he will advise the club’s ownership on sporting matters and assist in selecting his successor.
Ranieri, who led Leicester City to a historic Premier League title in 2015/16, last managed Roma briefly in 2019, with an earlier tenure a decade before.
He aims to improve Roma’s performance after a challenging start to their Serie A season, with only three wins so far.
A Ugandan court has convicted 21-year-old Emmanuel Nabugodi for posting a TikTok video that called for the public flogging of President Yoweri Museveni.

This is the latest case in Uganda’s crackdown on criticism of Museveni and his family, with several individuals recently sentenced or charged for similar offenses.
Grammy-winning producer and Louis Vuitton men’s creative director, Pharrell, has addressed Drake’s 2023 comments about buying and threatening to melt down his old jewelry.
In a recent interview with GG Magazine, Pharrell reflected on auctioning his jewelry in 2022, saying, “You never realize how much all the stuff you have weighs on you, but it does… When you let that go, man, you feel so free.”
Asked how he felt about Drake’s remarks in his verse on Travis Scott’s “Meltdown,” Pharrell responded, “It didn’t.” In that verse, Drake took a jab, rapping about melting down Pharrell’s chains and dismissing their heritage value.
Drake’s $3.3 million jewelry haul included unique pieces like a N.E.R.D. pendant chain and a skateboard chain, which he showcased in his “Jumbotron Shit Poppin” video.
