Nigerian Opposition Leaders Demand Suspension of New Tax Regime
Nigerian opposition figures, including Atiku Abubakar, David Mark, and Peter Obi, along with spokespersons from the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), held a press conference in Abuja demanding the suspension of a new tax regime. They argue that the tax implementation will worsen the economic woes faced by Nigerians, with the removal of fuel subsidies, currency devaluation, and rising inflation already straining households and businesses.
The opposition accuses the government, led by Tinubu, of prioritizing the interests of the wealthy elite over the common citizens.
