Ndume Threatens To Leave APC by NLCreator: 6:00pm On Nov 29
The Borno South senator, Ali Ndume, has said he would leave the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC), if the leadership of the party allows him.

He said he ought to have left the APC before now but stayed back because of his closeness to President Bola Tinubu and that he doesn’t want the president to fail.

Mr Ndume said this on Thursday when he appeared on Channels Television to discuss his grievances with the tax reform bills proposed by President Tinubu.

“I told you I am very close to Tinubu. I don’t want him to fail and that is why I am taking some of these insults. If not, look, I can leave the party.

“I can leave the party. The party has even given me an offer that I can go if I want. I can apply to them to let me go if they can give me approval and I will go,” he said.

Mr Ndume was removed as Senate Chief Whip in July, following a letter from Abdullahi Ganduje, the APC national chairman, and Basiru Ajibola, the party’s national secretary.

In the letter, the APC leaders referenced an interview Mr Ndume granted where he criticised the Tinubu administration. The party leaders consequently recommended that the Senate relieve him (Ndume) of his position.

The APC also advised Mr Ndume to quit the ruling party if he wishes rather than criticise the administration of a president who is its member.

Mr Ndume later apologised for the action and promised not to criticise President Tinubu’s administration again.

Grouse with reforms

During the interview on Channels Television, Mr Ndume described the proposed tax reform bills as “giving somebody something with right hand and taking it back with left hand.”

The senator explained that part of his disagreement with the bills was that they would make companies that will pay higher taxes to increase the prices of goods and services and, therefore, make living inconvenient for the masses.

“Let me take it one after the other but they may have different opinions. When you say those earning N800,000 below do not pay VAT – on what? Do you exclude him from paying VAT from the goods that he will buy in the market? And then the corporate tax goes up. Now they transfer the cost or the taxes over to the consumer. So, are you helping him,” he queried.

Mr Ndume said Dangote Industries Limited may increase the price of goods and services for Nigerians when the company’s tax is higher.

“Even today, the price of cement goes up and that means consumers will have to pay more. If you tax Dangote for his refined products, it means he will add that cost to the cost per litre. So, if you are saying if you’re earning below N800,000 you will not pay tax, what of those people that are below that level,” he added.

Professionals advice

Mr Ndume said he employed the services of professionals and lecturers to review the tax reform bills. And they all opposed the bills.

“I have studied this thing. I have given it to the professionals, even the lecturers of those that are promoting it, those people that taught them. I approached some of them and they said ‘look this tax reform is good, it is good to do tax reform but not this one’.” he said.

The senator also said he was suspicious of the way the bills passed the second reading in the Senate.. He said the legislative action should have been thorough.

“Sit down and do it comprehensively and break it down! Why the hurry? There is a big suspicion. Why the hurry? They are in too much of a hurry. From the government’s end there’s a hurry in it,” Mr Ndume said.

If u are not an economic thinker u would think the man is talking nonsense.

I have said this times without number,that u can't rax the rich and expect the poor to survive it.

The higher u tax the rich,the more the goods and services u will purchase in the market would skyrocket.

It is a give and take thing...the rich and govt officials would enjoy while the poor would suffer the consequences.

Just that they have used religion to blindfold northern youths if not the youths of the north should hold this man and all their politicians responsible for the failures in the north.

They have used all the northern monthly allocations for 64years to marry multiple wives and born plenty untrained children littering everywhere.

Monies they should have used to develop their regions were used for wrong reasons.

Now they are crying foul

As much as he is a rabble-rouser, he has valid claims too.

You and Ndume are ignorant. Company income tax cannot be pass to consumers u like VAT. CIT is on total profit of company and personal income tax is directly from source.
