No opposition can stop passage of Tinubu’s controversial tax bill – PDP Senator
The Senator representing Bayelsa West Senatorial District, Seriake Dickson, has declared that no opposition can stop the passage of the bills.
Speaking on Monday, the former governor of Bayelsa added that heaven will not fall if the four bills are passed into law as envisaged by President Bola Tinubu.
He was optimistic that the “tax reform bills, like the Petroleum Industry Bill,” would be passed into law amid controversies.
He said, “The Petroleum Industry Bill succeeded despite opposition to the recommended 3% as against the usual 10% remittance to host communities.”
He assured that there will be no backlash from any quarter as the bill passes through the legislative process, stressing that no opposition can stop the passage.
“When the PIB passed at 3% instead of 10%, heavens didn’t fall, and they won’t fall now,” said Dickson, who explained that the bills are vital for correcting an unfair system.
