TINUBU'S TAX REFORM BILLS NOT WITHDRAWN, SENATE UNMOVED BY INTIMIDATION- AKPABIO. (PHOTO).


 Tinubu's Tax Reform Bills Not Withdrawn, Senate Unmoved by Intimidation – Akpabio


The Nigerian Senate has rejected reports that the Tax Reform Bills were suspended during its Wednesday plenary, clarifying that the bills are still active and under consideration.


Senate President Akpabio emphasized that the Tax Reform Bills, being executive bills, have not been withdrawn by the Senate. He made this statement in response to a point of order raised by Senate Leader Michael Bamidele Opeyemi, who expressed concerns over misleading media reports regarding the status of the bills.


Opeyemi criticized a news report on Arise Television, which suggested that the Senate had suspended the consideration of the tax bills. The report even quoted Nasarawa State's governor as expressing satisfaction that the bills were "withdrawn." Opeyemi, addressing the issue, noted that the media misrepresentation implied confusion among senators, claiming that suspension was the only course of action.


In response, Opeyemi reaffirmed that senators understand the legislative process and that any attempts to intimidate the Senate would be undemocratic. He stated, “We cannot be bullied into adopting a certain procedure,” adding that the bills are still being considered and that the Senate remains open to discussions and negotiations. He stressed that the executive bills can only be withdrawn by the executive, and there is no reason to do so, as they serve the public's interest.


The Senate President also praised Senator Abba Moro, the committee chairman, for initiating consultations immediately after the committee's formation. Moro has set up meetings to begin public hearings on the bills as soon as possible.


Both Akpabio and Opeyemi assured that the bills have not been suspended or withdrawn, and their consideration continues in the Senate. Further legislative actions are planned, with the bills having already passed their second reading.
