Peter Obi Flags 31 Errors In New Tax Laws, Urges FG To Suspend Implementation by KontactMedia(op): 8:22pm On Jan 13
The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has urged the Federal Government to suspend the rollout of Nigeria’s newly gazetted tax laws, warning that the framework contains significant mistakes, contradictions, and loopholes.

In a statement shared on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, Obi cited an analysis by KPMG Nigeria, which identified possible concerns around the taxation of shares, dividend handling, obligations of non-residents, and foreign exchange deductions.

Obi, the report identified “31 critical problem areas, from drafting errors to glaring policy contradictions and administrative gaps,” noting that the complexity of the issues was such that “it took private meetings between the National Revenue Service and KPMG for these serious issues to be acknowledged.

When u see any agbero any where in Lagos or Ogun state...they are always after peoples money in a hurry,therefore do not think that an Agbero president would apply sense over reason.

He is just after money and not welfare.

This is what opposition should be. Constructive criticism is the Hallmark of credible opposition, but rather than tackle him with their own arguments, Bayo Ononuga and Reno omokri would simply resort to insults because even them don't understand the tax policy.

Show us proof of his third class certificate or STFU.
Tinubu with his numerous questionable certificates and buhari with a mere standard six certificate are your idols.

why do you like tribalism? Are you happy with the condition of Nigeria economy? Are you better than PO in anyway? The same 3rd graduate is the most qualified man for the job. Why do you hate progresse? Are you bitterd by what?

You don't deserve good things in life and it will not locate, tinubu will happen to you

And so? Protest is the fundamental human right of citizens even though it's a crime under Tinubu's government.

It is expected that you cry bitterly when you are resisted, just like monsuru the Agbero at Mushin motor park trying to dip his filthy hands into pockets of commuters in a bid to collect 'Owo da' for Amoda Ogunlere his chairman.

Cry well. grin
