Kwankwaso Urges Tinubu to Reconsider Tax Reform Bills for Nigeria’s Benefit

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the National Leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), called on President Bola Tinubu to reconsider his position on the proposed Tax Reform Bills, urging him to think of the Nigerian people first.
In a post shared on his X handle, Kwankwaso reflected on the actions of past Nigerian leaders, such as former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, who withdrew significant bills to safeguard the country’s interests.
He pointed out that this kind of thoughtful decision-making is necessary during difficult times, like those Nigeria is experiencing now.
“My position on tax reform is as follows: Now is not the right time to review VAT or introduce any new taxes.
Given the economic difficulties many Nigerians are enduring, such actions would be unwise and harmful,” Kwankwaso stated.
He stressed that the government’s focus should be on providing relief to the people, not imposing new financial burdens that could worsen their situation.
Kwankwaso further urged President Tinubu to listen to the National Economic Council and other respected figures who have voiced concern over the timing of these reforms.
He noted that policy decisions should be driven by the well-being of the people, not by personal agendas or political motivations.
“I strongly believe that any decision made should prioritize the common good of all Nigerians,” he added.
The former presidential candidate pointed out the historical precedence for withdrawing controversial bills in Nigeria.
He reminded Nigerians of how former President Olusegun Obasanjo, during his second term, withdrew the revenue-sharing bill, which was seen as a necessary step in the best interest of the country.
Similarly, President Jonathan, after consulting with prominent leaders, decided to withdraw a communication to the 7th National Assembly, citing national interest as the guiding principle.
Kwankwaso concluded his message by urging President Tinubu to follow suit and reconsider the Tax Reform Bills.
He emphasized that listening to the majority of Nigerians and respecting their concerns should be at the core of any decision-making process.
This, he argued, would not only benefit the nation but also reaffirm the commitment of the government to the people’s welfare.

Tinubu Says Ending Fuel Subsidies And Fixing Taxes Are Helping Nigeria

Two years into his administration, President Tinubu highlights key achievements in Nigeria’s economy and social sectors. He reminds Nigerians of the tough choices made early on, like removing fuel subsidies and fixing foreign exchange policies, to stop the country from slipping into crisis. These bold moves have started to pay off.
Inflation is easing, staple food prices are dropping, and the oil sector is seeing renewed growth with billions invested. The government has improved revenue collection, narrowed the fiscal deficit, and built up reserves to protect Nigeria from shocks.
Tax reforms are helping small businesses and protecting low-income families by cutting VAT on essentials like food and education. The administration is also supporting new industries through targeted incentives and making trade easier and fairer.
On the social front, health services are expanding with thousands of primary health centers being upgraded and new cancer treatment centers opening. Free and subsidized medical care is reaching more Nigerians, while health insurance coverage grows steadily.
The president also points to progress in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure development as the foundation for long-term growth. Despite challenges, these efforts show that Nigeria is moving in the right direction, building a stronger economy and better future for all its people.

Tinubu Promises Stronger Security and More Support for Nigerians

Since taking office two years ago, President Tinubu has been clear that improving security and investing in the nation’s people are top priorities. He recognizes that without safety, the economy and daily life cannot thrive. His administration has worked hard to strengthen collaboration among security agencies, increase intelligence operations, and support the welfare of the military and police. According to him, it is thanks to these efforts, some regions once troubled by bandits have seen peace return, allowing farmers to get back to work and roads to become safer for travelers.
Beyond security, the government is focused on building a brighter future through education, healthcare, and youth empowerment. Investments in schools and student loans aim to give more Nigerians access to quality education. Health programs have upgraded thousands of primary health centers, introduced cancer treatment centers, and expanded health insurance coverage. The administration has also launched initiatives to create jobs, support small businesses, and encourage innovation—especially among young people eager to shape Nigeria’s tomorrow.
President Tinubu believes these steps are creating a foundation for lasting growth and opportunity. While challenges remain, the commitment to protecting citizens and developing human capital signals a hopeful path forward for Nigeria’s future.
