“These People Have An Ulterior Motive” – Kano Lawmaker Reveals How He Was Approached To Support Tinubu’s Tax Reform Bills

A Kano lawmaker has raised concerns about President Tinubu's Tax Reform Bills, alleging that he was approached to support the bills but declined due to their potential negative impact on Northern states. According to the lawmaker, the bills would disproportionately favor states like Lagos, where major corporations are headquartered, leaving Northern states with minimal benefits.

The proposed VAT allocation system has been a major point of contention, with critics arguing that it would further weaken Northern states and exacerbate poverty and hardship. The Kano State House of Assembly has rejected the Tax Reform Bills, citing concerns over their potential to sabotage the economy and increase hardship in the region.

Some lawmakers have expressed concerns that the bills are part of President Tinubu's personal agenda to consolidate power and control over the country's economy. However, others have argued that the bills aim to correct the existing VAT allocation system, which currently favors states with major corporate headquarters.
