Governor BABAGANA ZULUM of Borno State has voiced the North’s opposition to President BOLA TINUBU’s Tax Reforms Bill currently before the National Assembly.
ZULUM, who spoke with Newsmen stressed that the North will not be party to the proposed legislation, emphasizing the detrimental effects the bill would have on the North and other regions in the country.
He warned that the tax reforms would lead to economic decline, hunger, poverty, and insecurity, especially in the northern region.
The governor also questioned the rush by the National Assembly to ensure swift passage of the bill, contrasting it with the prolonged delay of the Petroleum Bill in the National Assembly.
