Oyelude, an All Progressives Congress (APC) leader in Osun State, emphasized that those opposed to the bill should work with their National Assembly representatives to address any concerns rather than stirring up regional tensions.
Speaking to journalists in Osogbo on Saturday, he noted that the bill would prompt governors to focus on revenue generation, which would ultimately aid national development.
He said, “The National Assembly will look at the bill in a way that it won’t lead to disintegration. The reform in the tax system will affect the name and a few other things about the tax system. It won’t be in the best interest of the country for the National Assembly to throw out the Tax Reform Bill.
“I believe North won’t oppose Tinubu’s reelection because of the tax reform bill. A northerner is the Vice President, so they can’t go against Tinubu based on the bill. The fate of the bill will be decided by the National Assembly.
“If the North feels the bill is not good enough, they should pass their resolution against it through their House of Representatives members and their Senators.”
