Senate Rebuts Kingibe's 25% Tax Claim Ahead of 2027 Elections
The Senate has responded to claims made by FCT Senator Ireti Kingibe regarding a potential 25% income tax if the All Progressives Congress (APC) is re-elected in 2027. Senate spokesman Yemi Adaramodu, who chairs the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, labeled Kingibe's assertions as misleading.
He emphasized that the tax law in question has been public for almost a year, having been passed by the National Assembly and signed into law by President Bola Tinubu. Adaramodu accused Kingibe of attempting to distort the legislation for political advantage and stated that any senator with concerns about the law should formally address them in the Senate.
Kingibe, who is seeking re-election on the platform of the African Democratic Congress, warned FCT residents against voting for the APC, claiming that lawmakers had approved the 25% tax but were delaying its implementation due to fear of backlash before the elections.
