Former Senate Leader, Mohammed Ali Ndume, has explained that he insisted on the withdrawal of the Tax Reform Bills forwarded to the Senate, in order to give room for wider consultations and necessary adjustments.
Ndume rubbished claimss that the North was parasitic.
According to him, all parts of Nigeria needed one another to survive and thrive.
The federal lawmaker, who stated this in Abuja yesterday, said: “I’m still insisting that the Tax Reforms Bills be withdrawn for more consultations and by-in of critical stakeholders like state, local government and private sectors.
“Those who think that the current tax reforms is only against Northern interest are naive.
“As the law is against all the low and middle income Nigerians.”
The senator also pointed out the wrong timing of the bill noting that the current economic hardship visited upon Nigerians would only worsen if the bill sails through in its current form.
