The Senator representing Borno South in the National Assembly, Mohammed Ali Ndume, has called on the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, the Federal Inland Revenue Service, (FIRS) and other managers to stop misleading President Bola Tinubu.
Ndume stated this while reacting to the plan by the Federal Government to review the tax regime of the country upward.
He claimed that the managers of the economy want to make President Bola Ahmed Tinubu look bad before Nigerians by proposing increase in tax.
Speaking via a statement, he said, “Allow Nigerians to have enough blood in their body before you start asking for donation.
“I am not saying people should not pay tax, but do not go and tax people that are struggling to survive. You are paying somebody N70,000 as a minimum wage, and all of a sudden, the price of fuel went up to N1,000.
“It means that if you put the arithmetic together, you see that you would have continued paying me the N30,000 and allow the litre of fuel to be N100.
