A federal lawmaker representing Borno South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Ali Ndume, says the tax reform bills sent to the legislative arm of government by President Bola Tinubu are dead on arrival.

He said the President should listen to the National Economic Council and the Northern Governors’ Forum and immediately withdraw the bills.

Ndume, one of the longest-serving lawmakers in the National Assembly ,revealed this on a political programme.

The lawmaker said the Federal Government should be looking at ways to reduce the tax burden on Nigerians and not increase it.
