Northern Coalition Rejects Tinubu’s Tax Reforms, Accuses President of Executive Overreach
The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has criticized President Bola Tinubu for attempting to enforce new tax reform laws from January 1, 2026, claiming the gazetted versions were materially altered after parliamentary approval. The coalition described this as a “reckless assault on democracy” and “executive overreach,” asserting that the changes undermine legislative authority and constitutional order.
CNG accused the Presidency and tax reform committee chairman Taiwo Oyedele of pushing reforms that could worsen economic hardship, while also criticizing the National Assembly for failing to defend the integrity of the laws. The group rejected any enforcement of the reforms, warning that implementing disputed taxes amid public opposition risks deepening economic distress, eroding trust in government, and violating democratic principles.
