Peter Obi: Nigeria Has Transitioned From Padded Budgets To Forged Laws

Peter Obi: Nigeria has transitioned from padded budgets to forged laws. Peter Obi, Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has accused the federal government of altering laws passed by the national assembly before they were gazetted.

The allegations stem from recent concerns raised in the house of representatives over discrepancies in the gazetted versions of the four tax reform acts signed by President Bola Tinubu.

In a statement posted on his X handle on Saturday, Obi described the development as a migration from “padded budgets” to “forged laws”.

He said the discrepancies between what the legislature approved and what was published as law undermined constitutional governance and erodes public trust.

Obi alleged that there are unapproved insertions in the recently enacted tax reform laws, including a mandatory 20 percent deposit requirement for tax-related court appeals, provisions for asset sales without judicial oversight, and powers granting tax authorities the right to arrest citizens.
