 Those against tax reform bills are enemies of Nigeria — Okupe


An erstwhile presidential spokesman, Doyin Okupe says opponents of the proposed tax reform bills are enemies of the country.


According to him, the bills are pro-poor and pro-development.


Okupe, who stated this in Lagos on Thursday, said that no right thinking person would stand against the reforms meant to protect the poor and tackle corruption.


“Any right-thinking human being who has had the opportunity in these last two months or so to listen and to read what the tax reforms are all about and goes against it, is an enemy of the country.


“We are saying that majority of poor people should not pay tax, how can anybody be against that?


“These reform bills are saying that companies that are not making money cannot be taxed arbitrarily. Their taxation will be based on revenue that they have generated and profit that made, not on turnover.


“And if your turnover is below 50 million, you are exempted, should anyone oppose this? If these tax bills can be passed, they will also help reduce corruption,” Okupe said.


Speaking on the North’s opposition to the bills, which are before the National Assembly, Okupe said that the North had no justifiable reason to oppose the reforms.


According to him, Nigeria’s democracy had been based on oil and not on taxation, which he said, was not sustainable, hence the need for a reform.
