BREAKING: Tinubu gives reason controversial bills would not be withdrawn

President Bola Tinubu has said there is no going back on the Tax Reform Bills he sent to the National Assembly two months ago, adding that it is best to leave them to legislative debate rather than withdraw them.

The president's comment came barely 24 hours after the National Economic Council (NEC), headed by Vice President Kashim Shettima, asked Tinubu to withdraw the bill due to the controversies it was generating.

The NEC made the demand at the end of their meeting, which was also attended by the 36 state governors and asked that the bills should be withdrawn to give room for wider consultations.
