Presidency Critiques Amaechi Over Tax Law Allegations

The Nigerian presidency has responded to claims made by former Minister of Transport Rotimi Amaechi regarding a supposed tax law that he alleged would be implemented ahead of the next general elections. Amaechi, in a viral video, warned Nigerians about the potential negative effects of this alleged tax policy and questioned why the government had not introduced it before the elections.

He urged citizens to actively participate in the electoral process, highlighting the serious consequences such policies could have on family livelihoods. In reaction, Onanuga, a special adviser in the presidency, dismissed Amaechi's claims as egregious and misleading, suggesting that the former minister's remarks were motivated by ulterior motives.

Onanuga further questioned the intent behind Amaechi's statements, emphasizing the need for accurate information in public discourse.
