Arewa will never pay Tinubu’s tax, infact, we are waiting for who will force us: Sheikh Alkali Zaria

Says: "any representatives from the north who supported the implementation of the tax reforms will be dealt with whenever they return home.

Prominent Islamic scholar from Kaduna, Sheikh Abubakar Alkali Zaria, has vowed that northerners will not pay the new controversial tax scheduled for implementation January 1, 2026.

“We are waiting to see who will come and make us pay these taxes,” the cleric stated. “By Allah, I am saying with a loud voice. Any senator or member of the House of Representatives who is supporting this new tax law will be dealt with once you are back home.”

Citing the removal of fuel subsidy which he said did not benefit ordinary Nigerians, Mr Alkali stated that the controversial laws contradicted the will of the people as obtained in a democracy.

“We are waiting to see who will pass this tax reform law. We sent you people to go and represent us. And democracy is for the people, by the people and to the people.

“And to you senators and representatives, I am congratulating you guys, because you will be beaten up. And when they say they removed subsidy, whose father did it help? So we don’t have any problem with anybody except those who signed that tax reform into law,” the cleric maintained.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the presidential committee on fiscal policy and tax reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, insisted the federal government will proceed with the implementation of the signed tax reforms as scheduled, despite widespread criticism.

The new tax law is for all Nigerians not only for the Northerners.

Why are they always acting like they are above the law?

Yoruba man so na now you know? Unfortunately it's too late, awolowo has blown the opportunity, nobody leaves the union without heavy bloodshed even igbos are not ready forget talk.

Ordinarily you don't deserve a response
But it is important to educate others

Awolowo advocated for a secession clause and Zik opposed him

Facts are stubborn

Eboes opposed secession because they believed they are smarter than everyone and would dominate

Nigeria I built on a NEGOTIATION

Your ancestors negotiated and rejected secession

The word they put in was INDISSOLUBLE

Meaning we die here

That was Ziks contribution

Don't blame Awolowo

The Iboe lies will not go unchallenged
So don't try to blackmail Yoruba

Every person speaks for himself as an individual

No one has ever won an election campaigning to leave Nigeria

Tax is a social contract.

Typing:
True talk. Let Bayo Onanuga and other Southeners pay the tax. Count us out

wirinet:
And how will that work? Do you propose splitting the country along pre amalgamation lines, or pre independent lines?
