Omo, you don hear wetin dey happen regarding the new tax law wey our government sign? E be like say di matter no sweet for many mouth, as e don turn wahala wey make many politicians and pipo waka upandan.

As di presidency dey talk say dem no change any small detail for di tax reform law, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi plus plenty civil society organizations dey shout say make dem suspend di implementation of di law wey go start from January 1, 2026. Dem dey suspect say some people don add or remove wetin no suppose dey for di law wey National Assembly don pass.

Di law wey reach di presidency make we sabi na di Nigeria Tax Act, Nigeria Tax Administration Act, Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, and di Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Act. Na dem four laws dey aim to make tax collection easier, but pipo dey vex say e get plenty wahala wey dey follow am.

E talk say di gazetted version don change plenty thing wey fit make di law weak if dem no address am. Dem don even set up committee to investigate di matter. E be like say dis wahala fit turn to serious drama for House.

Di presidency don come out make dem talk say no alteration dey, and dem dey ready to implement di law, despite all di noise wey di opposition dey make. Dem don employ people to ensure say everything follow di plan from January. Temitope Ajayi wey be Senior Special Assistant to di President don talk say di opposition no go fit distract dem.

But dis opposition no gree rest o! Atiku don yan say make dem stop di law for now so dat dem fit investigate di matter well. Obi sef don talk say di whole tin no dey proper as e dey threaten di Constitution wey suppose dey guide us. E call am emergency matter wey fit scatter many tin if dem no handle am well.

Even di African Democratic Congress join di matter, dem dey call di new tax laws as draconian and dem wan am suspend sharp, to allow legislature see wetin happen. Dem don already dey mobilize people against di tax reform as dem dey consider am anti-people.

Dis wahala no be small, my people! As dem dey argue, eni wey go be di loser na we di ordinary citizens wey go feel di impact of higher taxes while di big men dey chop dem own. Wetin go happen next? We dey watch as di saga dey unfold, no be so?
