The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) on Wednesday criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s insistence on implementing the newly enacted tax reform laws from January 1, 2026, describing the move as an assault on democracy amid unresolved allegations that the laws were materially altered after passage by the National Assembly.
The group said the President’s posture represents a grave affront to democratic values, particularly coming from a leader who has often portrayed himself as a beneficiary of Nigeria’s democratic struggle.
In a statement by its National Coordinator, Comrade Jamilu Aliyu Charanchi, the CNG expressed serious concern over what it described as credible discrepancies between the versions of the tax laws debated and approved by lawmakers and those eventually transmitted for gazetting.
According to the group, a review of verified facts, expert legal opinions, and submissions by lawmakers and independent observers indicates that the gazetted versions do not reflect what was approved by the National Assembly.

Northern Nigeria is not Nigeria.
If na Jonathan una go get strength fight. Una eye don see shege banza under this criminal
Tax Law is not their problem but the invasion of the terrorists camps which has been the source of their livelihood is the major crisis they have.
Tinubu and his Yoruba associates think power will remain with them forever. Don’t worry, there will be time when the North will take back the said power, and start implementing illegal laws. And they will tell you, they learned it from the Yorubas… Same way they alleged the South south of starting Kidnapping business in Nigeria. Make una continue ooo
We never see anything from tax master 😀😀😀
This is a serious concern. If the allegations of discrepancies between the National Assembly-approved tax laws and the gazetted versions are true, it undermines both the rule of law and democratic accountability. President Tinubu’s insistence on implementing these laws without clarifying the discrepancies raises questions about transparency and respect for legislative processes. Nigerians deserve full disclosure and a review to ensure that the laws in effect reflect what was actually passed.
