Pulse Nigeria reported that during the recent NEC meeting, led by Vice President Kashim Shettima, the council suggested shelving the tax bill after a collective decision from northern governors and traditional leaders who met in Kaduna.
However, Tinubu called on the council to allow the legislative process to proceed uninterrupted.
In a statement issued by the PNYF, Abdulkadir Bala, the group’s Secretary General, endorsed Tinubu’s stance, arguing that the position taken by the Northern Governors’ Forum does not represent the interests of the people.
