He said the timing of the bills considering the economic situation of Nigerians does not make “political sense” to him.“I can tell you that it will be dead on arrival. We don’t need to study the bill,” he said.
“The general thing is that Nigerians are not willing to talk, hear or pay any tax now considering the situation we have faced because this is the government of the people. “Right now, people can’t even afford what to eat. People are struggling to survive. Let people leave first before you start asking them for tax.”
