My people, e don happen for this Naija wey we sabi. Hon. Mansur Manu Soro, one sharp guy from Bauchi State, don come out dey shout say we need pause for that Tax Laws wey dey come 2025. Na wah o! E talk say wetin dem dey plan get plenty wahala wey no fit follow law.
According to Soro, after him check how dem pass the tax bills for National Assembly, e discover say plenty alterations don enter the final version wey dem gazetted. Wetin him find no be small matter—e say dem don remove important provisions wey go fit help make sure say government no dey do anyhow.
This guy no wan make dem just pass bills wey go give executive power to arrest people anyhow and collect their property if dem no follow the tax laws. Soro raise alarm say dem changes fit breach our beloved Constitution, and only National Assembly suppose get that authority!
Hon. Soro don dey push for urgent meeting on top this matter, because time dey pass and dem wan start to implement this tax wahala from January 2026. E no go better if dem no clear dis gbege before dem go for Christmas holiday o! Na so government go just dey use power anyhow, and we no go fit talk.
Also, e no too sweet me to yarn say other lawmakers like Rep. Abdulsammad Dasuki don also dey complain say wetin dem get for gazette no be wetin dem discuss for inside house. E don dey rise steadily as other political big boys join put their mouth.
Even the opposition party, African Democratic Congress (ADC), don join this matter chop. Dem don call for full stop to this Tax Law wahala! Their mouth dey run say na “forgery” wey dey happen. Bolaji Abdullahi wey dey represent dem talk say government fit use am enter house arrest if you no pay tax. Na serious muzzy wey dey shele. “Make we no turn am to presidency wey wan grab all power for hand,” na wetin dem dey talk.
ADC argue say no be only taxation matter but e dey show say government wan sideline all democratic institutions. Dem demand investigation and make sure say any government official wey dey use him power to forge legislation go face punishment.
Na so we gather for this matter wey dey show say our democracy dey face yawa. Naija people need to shine their eye, because any law wey no follow amendment wey dem suppose do for constitution no suppose stand. E go better if our lawmakers fit make sure say our right no dey jam under any legislation wey no clear.
