Reporting by Punch indicates the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is demanding a suspension of Nigeria’s newly introduced tax laws, alleging that key sections were changed after National Assembly passage and presidential assent.
The party frames the claim as a constitutional issue—arguing that post-assent changes would undermine legislative process and separation of powers.
ADC says it wants a full investigation to determine who handled the alleged edits and whether prosecution should follow if wrongdoing is established.
Daily Post said the ADC urged suspension over “alleged forged provisions,” while TheCable’s coverage captured ADC’s warning that “It is time to rethink our tax laws.”
Echotitbits take:
Whether proven or not, legitimacy is everything for compliance. Watch for certified “as-passed” copies, side-by-side comparisons with gazetted versions, and clear implementation guidance before take-off.
