Alleged Altercation: Deji Adeyanju demand publication of authentic version of tax reform bill

Human Right Lawyer and Activist, Barrister Deji Adeyanju has urged the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led federal government to immediately come clean with an explanation and publish the authenticated version of the tax reform bill passed by the National Assembly.

Adeyanju while reacting to reports that the tax reform bill assented to by Tinubu is materially different from the version duly passed by the National Assembly, insisted that

anything short of the explanation and publication shows that the Tinubu Administration is a criminal enterprise masquerading as a government.

According to him: “If this allegation is true, it represents the greatest mockery of Nigeria’s democracy since 1999.

“In a sane constitutional democracy, the President can only assent to the exact bill passed by the legislature. Any post-passage alteration, whether by omission, addition, or substitution, amounts to legislative fraud and an affront to the sovereignty of the Nigerian people!
