SENATORS from the South-Eastern part of Nigeria have declared their support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Tax Reform Bills.
This was disclosed via a terse statement shared via the X.com (formerly Twitter) handle of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu earlier today (Monday, 9 December 2024).
The statement reads: “The Tax Reforms Bills were thoroughly deliberated during the South-East Senate caucus today which I actively participated in.
“While it was agreed that the Bills should be supported, it was agreed that extensive consultations with all major stakeholders.”
It will be recalled that senators from the south-south geopolitical zone in the 10th Senate have also endorsed the tax reform bills currently under consideration by the National Assembly.

Their support for the Tax Bills came amid resistance from certain quarters calling for their withdrawal by the presidency.
