Tinubu Deploys Emissaries as Northern Governors Refuse Tax Reform

President Bola Tinubu is dispatching emissaries to northern leaders amid growing resistance to his proposed tax reforms. The move comes as governors from the region remain resolute in their opposition to the bills.

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has initiated a series of diplomatic efforts by sending emissaries to influential northern leaders in an attempt to overcome opposition to the proposed tax reform bills. This move comes as several northern governors have remained steadfast in their refusal to support the legislation, which aims to overhaul Nigeria's tax system. By engaging with these key stakeholders, President Tinubu hopes to build consensus and pave the way for the passage of the tax reform bills through parliament. The emissaries are believed to be working behind the scenes to address concerns and negotiate concessions from the northern elite.
