Alleged Forgery Of Tinubu’s Tax Reform Law Is Treason, Assault On Democracy — Atiku Alleges
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused the Bola Tinubu administration of committing a “brazen act of treason” through alleged unauthorised alterations to the recently passed Tax Reform Law. In a statement issued by his media aide, Paul Ibe, Atiku claimed that key provisions were illegally inserted after the National Assembly had passed the bill, in violation of Sections 4 and 58 of the 1999 Constitution. He alleged that the changes granted excessive powers to tax authorities, imposed harsher financial burdens on citizens and businesses, and removed critical legislative oversight mechanisms. Atiku warned that the alleged forgery undermines constitutional democracy, due process and legislative supremacy, while worsening hardship for Nigerians already facing poverty and inflation. He called for the immediate suspension of the law’s implementation, legislative correction of the alleged alterations, judicial intervention to strike down unconstitutional provisions, and public resistance to what he described as an erosion of democratic governance.
