Kwankwaso Accuses Tinubu of Delaying Tax Laws for Votes
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso claims the Tinubu administration is delaying new tax collections to avoid political backlash before the 2027 general election.
Vice-Presidential candidate Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso alleged that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration is intentionally delaying the implementation of newly enacted tax laws to avoid alienating voters before the 2027 general election. Speaking at the inauguration of the National Democratic Congress campaign council in Dutse, Jigawa State, Kwankwaso claimed the Federal Government fears losing the upcoming election if it begins collecting the taxes now.
Kwankwaso warned that if the All Progressives Congress secures a second mandate, the government will pursue aggressive tax collection efforts, claiming officials would go house to house to collect taxes. He further alleged that the Senate President intentionally avoided the legislative session where the tax bill was approved.
As part of the National Democratic Congress platform, Kwankwaso pledged that his party would cancel unnecessary taxes and provide sponsored quality education if given the mandate by Nigerian voters.
