No One Will Stop House Of Reps Members From Supporting Tinubu’s Tax Reform Bills – Philip Agbese

The deputy spokesman for the House of Representatives, Mr Philip Agbese has come out to say that some state governors are threatening to deny federal lawmakers return tickets in the 2027 general elections if they do not withdraw their support for President Bola Tinubu’s Tax Reform Bills.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, some governors are currently holding meetings ahead of National Assembly resumption to consider the tax bills and other important legislations, but he and his colleagues were not elected by any governor.

He added that nobody can stop members of the House of Reps from supporting President Bola Tinubu’s bid to reboot the economy to work for the country.

His words, “Some of these governors are threatening members from their states. They have even gone far to threaten that they would deny members return tickets in 2027 if they support the bills.

As far as we are concerned in the House of Representatives, nobody can stop us from supporting President Bola Tinubu’s bid to reboot the economy to work for the country.

We are united across party lines to make sure the country works. This is the disposition of Speaker, Tajudeen Abass.

The difference between the new crop of politicians in the House of Representatives is that we are intellectually sound, progressive-minded and pro-Nigeria.

We were not elected by the governors but our constituents and as far as the legislation (bills) will work for those that elected us, we will support them unequivocally, wholeheartedly and powerfully to see the light of the day.”

WOW.
