The People’s Redemption Party (PRP) has called for a suspension of the tax reform bills (

The statement reads: “The People’s Republican Party (PRP) is deeply appalled by the current government’s recent manipulation of Nigerian tax laws and strongly condemns its blatant dereliction of duty and trampling on constitutional sovereignty.

Party A commendable member of the House of Representatives revealed that the executive branch secretly amended bills passed by the National Assembly without parliamentary approval. Bola This dangerous pattern of executive branch impunity threatens the very foundations of democracy and the rule of law in Nigeria. It is an unforgivable betrayal of trust, a mockery of the Nigerian people, and a blatant attack on the impartiality of the legislative process.”

(*The party calls for a full investigation into the alleged discrepancies between the laws passed by the legislators and the versions published by the federal government, and insists on holding all those responsible accountable.

“In light of these serious developments, the People’s Republican Party demands a full and transparent investigation into these manipulations to identify and punish all those responsible for this serious misconduct. Abuja We maintain that all those involved, regardless of their position, should be held accountable for their fraudulent activities and appropriately punished.

If evidence emerges that President Tinub was involved in these illegal manipulations, the People’s Republican Party demands his immediate removal from office. No one, not even the president, should be above the law,” the statement reads.

The People’s Republican Party also urges the federal government to suspend the implementation of the tax law until the dispute is resolved, and warns that if… the party will take legal action. The matter remains unresolved.

The party warns that this move will have far-reaching consequences and accuses the government of undermining democratic governance, calling on the Nigerian people to resist what it calls the abuse of executive power.

The People’s Republican Party (PRP)’s involvement stemmed from revelations by Abdussamad Dasuki, a member of parliament for the Kebe/Tambuwal constituency in Nigerian State. Dasuki warned in the House of Representatives last Thursday that the tax reform bill had been altered.

*Dasuki claimed that the version of the tax law passed by the National Assembly differed from the version subsequently released by the Ministry of Information.

*According to PidomNigeria, the tax reform bill, scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2026, was recently signed by the president and is described by the federal government as the most far-reaching tax reform in Nigeria in decades.* However, the bill faced strong opposition during parliamentary deliberations, particularly from some northern members of parliament who expressed concerns about its economic and regional impact.

*Dasuki claimed that certain provisions in the published law were neither debated nor approved by members of parliament, exacerbating the controversy.

In response to these allegations, the White House denied the secret alteration of the tax law and emphasized that no opposition could prevent the reforms from being implemented.

* The tax law has also drawn criticism from prominent politicians, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labor presidential candidate Peter Obi.

Both have called for a suspension of the tax law until controversial provisions are clarified.
