Tinubu is facing intense backlash in the North over his controversial Tax Reform Bills, which many Northerners have dismissed as a move designed to benefit the Yoruba and Lagos. The bills were overwhelmingly rejected, with critics accusing Tinubu of trying to impose tax policies that favor his home state after borrowing trillions to develop Lagos. They made it clear that they are not "mugus" and will not allow such policies to go unchecked.

In a bold statement, they vowed that Tinubu won’t return for a second term, labeling him as OTP (One-Term President). They also called out Tinubu’s loyalists who have threatened to divide the nation if the North blocks the bills, daring them to try. They made it clear that no one can threaten the unity of Nigeria.

@HaHayatu

48 House of reps members from North East led by Hon Ahmed Usman Jaha reject the Tax reform bill, announced on the flour of the house 👏👏👏👏👏

Say NO to Tax reforms.

@Waspapping_

He hasn’t seen anything yet. Let him wait for the 2027 elections; we will show him what we are made of because he won’t win a single northern state.

You can take that to the bank. Let’s see if the Southwest alone can make him president.

In conclusion, the Tax Reform Bill isn’t against the Northern Territory, It’s basically against any State that is not Lagos. It’s a bill that Favour’s Lagos State, the Lagos People and the Lagos Government.

Democracy during T-pain Era; is a government of the Lagos, by the Lagos people and for the Lagos people. I tel God beg you to count me in for any ticket that will bring an end to this administration come 2027.🙏🏾

@JibreelKhalil

I will tour around my community and inform all the Imams to embark on a saving mission using their pulpits. Arewa is on the brink of ceasing. A new law has been put in place to cripple Arewa in its totality and that will be the end of us. I’ve placed this task upon myself, Insha Allah. The law has far-reaching and devastating effects to our region.

What PBAT’s governmnt needs right now is to win back the public’s trust. Subsidy removal has injected a degree of fear in the hearts of Nigerians, it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The removal was expertly packaged, fine-tuned & sold to people without a fallback plan.

@jrnaib2

As the North feel betrayed, the chance of Tinubu being the One Term President is now 95.7%.

@Ukalix_

This man can never be trusted.

@SirB_Lord

The way some yorubas go about this "Tax Reform Bill' shows that, there's ulterior motive from south west behind the bill. The SW want to cheat the rest of Nigerians and if the north allow them, they - north will suffer from it.

@_sar_dauna

The New Tax Regime, no matter how objective one looks at it, is regionally skewed.

@DrealAdo

We will deal with him, wallahi. No one can stand tall in Arewa today in his defense, not even his VP. He showed his hands early, Alhamdu lil Laah. He should continue with his shege but we’ll show him shege banza.

This is just the beginning.

The bill is a welcome development.

The bill is good Nigeria cannot continue this way

You can see the trash can where the bill belongs.

Its obvious there's more to this Tax reform that Tinubu is forcing into our throat.

Going to two years now since the removal of fuel subsidy we are yet to see a single positive impact rather than the negative effect which is seriously affecting majority of Nigerians.

You are planning to increase data/call tariff next year yet you still want to pass another abracada under Tax reform.

Jagaban should rest for now.

LOL. Awon abookey afi oju re ri nkan imi...

Una go explain to us when you added FG as your next of kin

The problem with a multiethnic country.

Tinubu will not shy away from the necessary reforms that Nigeria needs. He will not be cowed like Jonathan who feared for his 2nd term chances yet still lost the re-election.

If anything, the experience of Jonathan has motivated Tinubu to push for all the difficult reforms now in his 1st term.

A breast at hand is worth more than 2 in the bra of a beautiful lady you may never have.

Tinubu, squeeze the single breast you have now ooo.

E no go better for 2nd term blackmail.

That is why Yorubas want to use reverse psychology by saying SE doesn’t support the bill while avoiding the north that rejected the bill.

The energy they're using to wail would have helped them to discuss on how to generate revenues to cover their mess....

But because they're good at enjoying free funds from the government....

Imagine a governor telling his workers that he won't pay them salaries if Tinubu scale through with the tax bills.... Because he will have no money to pay salaries.... But he will have money to feed himself and his family.

The north should wake up and begin to elect competent leaders and not brain-dead leaders.

To defeat this Northern mentality, this bill must pass

Remember when the Fulanis claim Niger Delta Oil belongs to the North.

By 2027 North and SS/SE will speak to him in the language he understand if he try to rig the election.

He can write election results of SW states, other regions don't give a Bleep so far he don't attempt to tamper with other regions.

The trash can is a metaphor for the North rejecting Tinubu.

Let 2027 come first, after dem don call a selected few of Una enter Aso Rock, tori go change.
Believe Nigerian politicians at your peril, bunch of gangsters

One of my mentors used to say that "unholy alliance" doesn't last.

So, I'm not surprised that Tinubu's unholy alliance with the North isn't lasting even for a year 😂😂😂😂😂

2027 go hot gaan

This tax bill will be passed.
Tinubu will win his second term.
Everybody go dey alright.

If this is the reason for rejecting Tinubu, Southsouth, Southeast and Middlebelt will vote for Tinubu. We can't be servants to Core North. Let every region develop at her pace.

Haters gonna hate.

Tinubu is doing great and I am sure the people of Nigeria will see the impact of his policies in the coming months.

Their alliance was not real one

They did that out of hate and selfish benefits

Anytime our chameleon brothers from south want to get favour from north, they come up with anti igbo politics.

All their politics is base on anti Igbo, they have no other influence. Some of them wanted to play their usual game on this, saying that SE rejects the bill even when SE leader are yet to say anything.

After tinubu, let them come and enter aso rock again

Timlubu has a destiny to destroy Nigeria.
Una vote for person and una dey wail. He's doing what they voted him to do.

Tinubulation and ebin pawa on the beat.

Only 48 House of Reps members from North East led by Hon Ahmed Usman Jaha rejected the Tax reform bill, announced on the floor of the House.

We have 360 members and only 48 rejected the bill, it's a done deal already.

Which SS, SE & NC ?

Hope you consult people from there?

This is a case of O.Y.O

The only NC state that he can win is Kwara State. Those ones may vote base on yoruba interest not Nigeria interest

This thing wey Agabdo and ronu bandits dey do Yoruba no go favor Yoruba in the long run.

I just pray this tax bill is passed to law. Let the north fully join us in boothing this shit man out. 🙏

Lobatan

We should just blame igbos and Obi for this whole bill brouhaha, Obi is the one sponsoring those Abokis not to accept the beautiful Kurubu bill.

classic!...honestly, this is the part of the motor that drives Tinubu much ahead and undetered ......

If Jonathan is opportuned by a fraction to find himself as the next president, believe me, then you will know how much of a hardened guy he is .....That bill must be signed ; make everybody wake up..........you can't create an unfavourable atmosphere for yourself and by yourself thereby inhibiting developmental and regional growth only to be feeding fat from someone else's hardwork and Initiatives..
