President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made it clear that the tax reform bills will proceed despite significant controversy. As reported by DAILY POST, Tinubu emphasized during a media chat in Lagos State that these reforms are designed to be pro-poor and aim to broaden the tax net, ensuring broader participation in tax contributions. His firm stance underscores his belief in the necessity of taking decisive action when required.
The bills have faced resistance, particularly from Northern leaders, who argue they could economically harm their region. However, Tinubu asserts, “The hallmark of a good leader is the ability to do what you have to do at the time it ought to be done.” This suggests a focus on long-term benefits over short-term regional concerns. How do you view the balance between national policy and regional sensitivity in implementing such reforms?
I like the president is doing.
