Bauchi Gov Mohammed declares tax reform Bills must be thrown overboard
Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed has declared that taxe reform Bills must be thrown overboard.
The governor made this known when he received the Christian community in Bauchi State, who visited him at the Government House.
Mohammed, who doubles as the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors Forum, said the tax reform bills that are currently before the National Assembly are skewed to favour only one section of the country.
According to him, the President should drop the tax reform bills.
He noted that the bills are not good for Northern Nigeria because they will not guarantee inflows to pay salaries and build roads.
“That is why the presidency must listen to the cries about tax reform.
“It is not a good policy for northern Nigeria because we are not going to get money to pay your salaries or to do roads.
“They must listen; otherwise, they are calling for anarchy. And that is not good.
“We voted for the presidency in this state and other states; they must listen to us. They must not come up with policies that favour only one section of the country or even one state in the country.
“It is not about religion; it is not about tribe; it is about national unity; it is about national hegemony, and this is what we are all about: good leadership,” he said.
Recall that President Tinubu, during his first Presidential Media Chat, insisted that the tax reform bills have come to stay.
According to him, the tax reform bills are necessary to retool the country’s economy.
Recall that Northern governors and the National Economic Council rejected the tax reform bills.
Since its transmission to the National Assembly, the bills have continued to generate mixed reactions.

Soldiers arrest 20 over Plateau killings
Troops of Operation Safe Haven have arrested 20 suspects in connection with the Sunday killings in the Tingbwa Gidan Ado community of the Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The Commander of OPSH, Maj. Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar, disclosed this during the Christmas luncheon organised for troops of OPSH and the 3 Division of the Nigerian Army on Thursday in Jos.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that gunmen attacked the community on December 22, killing 15 people.
Abubakar, who also serves as the General Officer Commanding 3 Division, noted that troops had recovered a significant cache of arms and ammunition during the operation.
“Following hours of sustained night operations, we have apprehended 20 suspects directly and indirectly involved in the last attack on Tingbwa Gidan Ado village in Riyom LGA on Dec. 22.
“We have also recovered a cache of arms and ammunition which has greatly starved criminal elements of the freedom of action to carry out their nefarious activities.
“Let the spirit of Christmas renew our commitment to the values we hold dear; let it inspire us to serve with even greater passion and determination,” he said.
The commander also commended the troops of OPSH and the 3 Division for their dedication to ensuring the relative peace being enjoyed in the state.
“On this special day, I acknowledge and applaud the sacrifices you have made; many of you are far away from home, unable to celebrate Christmas and the yuletide season with family and loved ones.
“While others enjoy the warmth of family and the comfort of home, you endure the realities of duty.
“Your courage and resilience would never go unnoticed as they embody the highest form of sacrifice.
“However, I charge you all to remain disciplined, loyal, vigilant, and professional in your conduct this season and always,” he urged.
Abubakar expressed his gratitude to the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa; and the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, for their leadership and strategic guidance, which have enabled troops to achieve numerous operational successes using both kinetic and non-kinetic measures.
