PRP Demands Suspension of Nigeria’s Tax Laws and Calls for President Tinubu’s Impeachment Over Alleged Legislative Manipulation

The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has demanded the immediate suspension of Nigeria’s newly enacted tax laws, warning that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu could face impeachment if linked to alleged manipulations of legislation passed by the National Assembly. In a statement signed by PRP National Chairman Falalu Bello, the party accused the executive branch of tampering with tax bills after parliamentary approval, calling such actions a threat to constitutional order and democratic governance. PRP emphasized that inserting, deleting, or altering substantive provisions post-legislation violates the rule of law, undermines separation of powers, and attacks the independence of the legislature. The party also called for a thorough and transparent investigation to identify and punish responsible parties. PRP warned that judicial intervention would be sought if the matter is not addressed promptly, emphasizing that no government official, including the president, is above the law. The statement underscores the broader concern about executive impunity and its potential impact on Nigeria’s democratic institutions and economic stability, highlighting the need for accountability and legal oversight in governance.
