Tax Reform: Gov Sule Dismisses Claims of Rift with President Tinubu

 


Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has dismissed rumors of a rift between himself and President Bola Tinubu regarding the ongoing tax reform discussions. In a recent statement, Sule emphasized that northern governors are not in conflict with the President over the proposed tax reforms, which have faced significant opposition from various stakeholders.

Sule acknowledged that while there are concerns about the reforms, he believes they can be addressed through amendments rather than outright rejection. He commended Tinubu for his efforts in engaging with the northern elite to clarify the benefits of the reforms, asserting that the focus should remain on improving Nigeria's economic landscape.

The governor's remarks come amid a backdrop of resistance from northern governors who have labeled the tax reforms as potentially harmful to their region's economic interests. However, Sule's stance suggests a willingness to collaborate and find common ground with the federal government on this critical issue.
