He claimed the actions amounted to a coordinated attempt to impose reforms without proper legislative backing, insisting that Nigerians’ hard-earned money was at risk despite the reforms not yet taking effect.
The tax reform laws, signed under the Bola Tinubu administration, are expected to come into force in January, with officials maintaining that no Nigerian has been charged under the new framework yet.
However, Waziri’s comments reflect growing public skepticism and online debate over the reforms,.
Many Nigerians continue to demand transparency and clarity on the approval process ahead of their planned implementation.
