STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE OLD TAX LAWS MADE NIGERIANS POOR, NEW SYSTEMS WILL CREATE OPPORTUNITIES AND PROSPERITY, SAYS PRESIDENT TINUBU President Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday in Abuja, said colonial-era tax laws impoverished Nigerians through fragmentation, multiplicity, and inconsistencies, and assured that the new reforms will deliver greater prosperity and inclusivity. President Tinubu emphasised that the new tax system is designed to be people-centred and investment-friendly, thereby advancing the nation’s development goals. The President made these remarks at the commissioning of the 16-storey Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) Headquarters. Senate President Godswill Akpabio and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, were in attendance, along with ministers, senators, members of the House of Representatives, private-sector leaders, and the governors of Kwara, Imo, Borno, Kogi, Plateau, and Anambra States. President Tinubu explained that the new tax laws, which became fully operational in January, are intended to liberate the economy from the constraints of archaic laws and make it more globally competitive. "On my inauguration day, I made a solemn pledge that we will move Nigerians from the dimness of uncertainty into the clear light of renewed hope. I committed to confronting structural weaknesses, restoring financial stability, and building an economy anchored in discipline, equity, and opportunity. Today, I stand before you to reaffirm that these words were not rhetoric; they were a covenant with the Nigerian people." The President commended the Executive Chairman of the NRS, Dr Zacch Adedeji, for his exceptional performance and the successful completion of the edifice, which provides a conducive working environment for 3,000 staff, along with a data processing centre, clinic, auditorium, training facilities, a gym, and a library. He expressed delight that the NRS headquarters was completed in 30 months, after more than two decades since the foundation was laid. "We are not gathered here merely to commission an edifice. We are here to mark a milestone in a larger national journey: the deliberate strengthening of our fiscal foundation and rebuilding of confidence in public institutions. No serious nation can achieve lasting prosperity on a weak and fragmented revenue system. No government can demand trust from its citizens when taxation is opaque, inefficient or unjust. “That is why this administration took the bold decision to embark on far-reaching tax and fiscal reforms,’’ he said. President Tinubu also thanked the Minister of State for Finance, Taiwo Oyedele, for his leadership in modernising colonial-era tax laws into “manageable, realisable, and understandable levels.” Addressing concerns about the new tax reforms, President Tinubu assured that the NRS has repositioned itself as a revenue hub, equipped with capacity and technology, backed by research and data-driven policies, and sensitive to the needs of the people, particularly the vulnerable. . "The reforms are designed to simplify our system, eliminate distortions and create a fair, transparent and investment-friendly environment. Our direction is clear: to have a revenue system that rewards enterprise, supports growth, and ensures that every contribution to the national cause is matched by feasible value for the people. “The early results are encouraging and fantastic. Mr Adedeji, thank you very much. We are witnessing improved fiscal stability, strength, stronger foreign reserves, a more efficient trade ecosystem and increased investor confidence in Nigeria's economic direction,’’ the President added. "These gains are not incidental. They are the products of deliberate policy, sustained effort, and a commitment to doing what is right for the long-term prosperity of our nation. It is within this context that we commission the headquarters of the Nigerian Revenue Service. "The building is more than concrete and steel. It is a symbol of a new standard of professionalism, transparency, efficiency and service. It reflects our resolve that institutions must rise to meet the demand of reforms and the expectations of the Nigerian people. We must thank all Nigerian people for enduring and persevering,’’ he stated. The President urged the Executive Chairman of the NRS to ensure that the institution upholds the highest standards. "It must not only collect revenue, but it must also build trust, ensure fairness, and demonstrate that government can be accountable, efficient, and responsible. “It must become a model institution that earns confidence at home and respect abroad. Let the future be better than the past. Let's make and keep that promise sincerely for the future. Let those who will come after us, politics apart, be ready to build on history that is greater than the achievements of their forbears,’’ the President said. Senate President Godswill Akpabio urged Nigerians to be patient with the Tinubu administration, noting that the economic reforms are already yielding results. "Nobody has noticed that since we came on board, we have not had 3-5 km of vehicles lined up at fuel stations to buy petrol. There was a time that we were prepared to pay even N10,000 per litre for fuel, but they could not see the fuel. But today, there is no single fuel queue in Nigeria. "Nobody is saying that because we encouraged and partnered with the private sector for the first time, we are now producing what we consume and consuming what we produce. We even go to the extent of sending it to other countries,’’ the Senate President noted. The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, commended the President for strengthening the economy with new reforms. "For many years, our revenue system struggled less from a lack of effort than from a lack of coherence. We operated multiple regimes, overlapping mandates and fragmented legal frameworks. The result was predictable—high effort, low yields, limited public confidence. "What has come under your administration is not only the policy directive, but also the underlying logic of the system. The reforms have sought to align rules, institutions and incentives within a single framework," Abbas said. In his welcome address, the Executive Chairman of the NRS, Dr Zacch Adedeji, described the commissioning of the headquarters building as “the culmination of a defining institutional journey." “When this administration assumed office, Nigeria faced a critical inflexion point marked by fiscal constraints, weakened investor confidence and structural distortion across key sectors. What followed was not an incremental adjustment but a comprehensive concept of the nation’s economic and financial architecture. “Through your decisive actions, you restored microeconomic credibility, unified foreign exchange markets, cleared long-standing backlogs and re-established confidence in Nigeria’s ability to operate a transparent and market-driven system," he added. Adedeji thanked the President for providing visionary leadership and support to the NRS. “These were not easy decisions, but they were necessary. History will recognise and be kind to you for them. Building on this foundation, your administration undertook one of the most significant revenue reforms in Nigeria’s history. “To put this in perspective, the first tax laws in this country were enacted in 1903, 133 years ago. We changed that. Over 60 fragmented tax laws were streamlined into a simplified and more coherent framework, strengthening compliance, improving predictability, and enabling efficient administration,” Adedeji noted. He emphasised that the new tax laws are not “driven by a higher tax burden, but by a better system with broadened coverage and improved structural governance.” According to Adedeji, “Five years ago, the total collection for Nigeria's revenue was N6.8 trillion, and by 2025, we ended the year with N28.7 trillion. He added that, beyond taxation, fiscal governance has been strengthened to improve remittances, enhance transparency, and tighten control over public finance flows. “To put this in perspective, Mr President, in May 2023, when you assumed office, the total money available for the federation was N711 billion. By September 2025, it was N3.6 trillion, which is 400% above what we inherited, and you can see that from the commissioning you've done in the states. They allude to the fact that you've given them what no government in the history of Nigeria has given to them. “Trade has been modernised through the recently launched National Single Window (NSW), reducing inefficiency and boosting revenue. Ten years ago, we tried to implement the National Single Window six times. In less than three years under your leadership, in collaboration with the Nigeria Customs Service, we launched the National Single Window on March 27th,” Adedeji stated. Guan Shuai, the Managing Director of China Civil Engineering and Construction Company (CECC), which completed the edifice, delivered a goodwill message. He stated that President Tinubu has demonstrated visionary leadership within less than three years in office, by taking tough decisions that will benefit the nation and posterity. Shuai noted that the Renewed Hope Agenda has repositioned the economy for foreign direct investment, with the President consistently commissioning infrastructure projects across states. “When I was a young man, I saw him use his leadership and visionary planning to achieve so much in Lagos, and now he has established a party and united many people,’’ he stated.

ALERT 🚨 After paying all the fees required, setting up for our convention tomorrow, the owner of Rainbow Event centre has just informed us that he has come under pressure from the FCDA and Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike that if he allows the ADC the use of his facilities, his licence will be revoked. But we have already signed the contract with him. We will hold our convention tomorrow as planned at the Rainbow event centre. We will not bow to this creeping tyranny.

Borno–Yobe Border Airstrike: A Wake-Up Call for Nigeria’s Defence Strategy I read the reports of the accidental airstrike at Jilli Market in the Borno–Yobe border area, which reportedly resulted in the deaths of several innocent Nigerians. I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the victims, as well as to the government and people of the affected states in this painful tragedy. May God grant eternal rest to the departed and comfort to all who are grieving. I have refrained from making any hasty conclusions on the matter, as the details remain unclear, including what exactly transpired and the confirmed casualty figures. That said, such tragic incidents are often associated with a combination of factors, including operational constraints, coordination challenges, and limitations in equipment and ageing platforms. We have witnessed similar occurrences in Nigeria in the past, and this underscores the urgent need to invest in modern fighter jets, upgrade existing platforms, and ensure continuous, rigorous training and retraining of military personnel. In the midst of the challenges facing the country, we must continue to stand in solidarity with our military personnel who risk their lives daily to keep Nigeria safe, while also insisting that they are properly equipped and fully supported to discharge their duties effectively and prevent avoidable tragedies of this nature. Overall, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must rise fully to the immense challenge of national security. At this critical time, decisive leadership, strengthened coordination of security architecture, and sustained investment in modern defence capacity are required to address the worsening insecurity and prevent further loss of innocent lives. -PO

@OlayinkaLere Don’t worry the evil you celebrate will hunt you down

David Mark faction of ADC Kolision Konfuson people said they were denied usage of the Eagle Square. To use Eagle Square, you have to apply through the MD of Abuja Investments Company Limited, and pay all required fees. Did they apply to the Abuja Investments Company Limited that manages the facility? The answer is NO. Did they pay the required FEES? The answer is NO. So, how can you be prevented from usaging a government facility you didn't apply and pay for? Simple procedure, they can't follow. It is only to make noise in the media.

Happening tomorrow in the city of Abuja. #ADCConvention2026

@Omojuwa Yes we the obidients will keep fighting for a better Nigeria To destroy Apc you need people like the Obidients Apc is evil I and despise them

They have no boundaries or limits when it comes to their obsession, the same way Obi himself has no immoral limits when it comes to his pursuit of the presidency. He's used the church, deployed tribalism and is now hoping that those he once called criminals will forget the slight and just lift him up like Rihanna. He has bent and folded into everything he claimed he wasn't. Note that he doesn't talk about criminality and corruption again. He cannot. Note that he doesn't deploy the church again. He won't dare. He is banking on the north to carry him. They are having a laugh at his expense. It was easy for him to fit into the ADC, because he is not morally better than anyone there. At least some of them are not pathological liars. Forget the 'I am like Jesus' gimmick. The Obidient movement is the worst thing to ever happen to this country's politics since 1999. The ADC should conclude its primaries and let's be done with the madness for good!

@Waspapping_ And u are a Bandit

Peter Obi is an illiterate. A nation’s future should never be placed in the hands of illiterates.

@PeterObi @janeezeji17 Thank you sir Tinubu is a failure

From Pharisee to Tax Collector: Rethinking Tinubu’s Kenyan Comparison In a recent remark in Yenagoa, Bola Ahmed Tinubu suggested that Nigerians should find solace in being “better off than Kenya and other African countries.” While this may have been intended to soften the impact of economic hardship and rising fuel prices, the comment risks downplaying the severity of the current crisis. It echoes the biblical parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in the Gospel of Luke (18:9–14). A similar warning is found in the Qur’an (53:32), which cautions against self-righteousness. Like the Pharisee who boasted of his superiority over others to mask his own spiritual void, such downward comparisons serve more as a refuge than a remedy. This validated an earlier dismissive remark by President Ahmed Bola Tinubu during electioneering: “Na statistics we go shop?” Yet statistics remain indispensable - they are the language through which nations understand their condition and chart progress. No country can develop in isolation from measurable realities or without comparing itself with peers. Comparisons, when properly grounded, are not instruments of escapism but tools of accountability. What is objectionable is not comparison itself, but comparison stripped of credible, verifiable data—mere tax collector comparisons that soothe rather than solve. On key development indicators such as security, the Human Development Index, life expectancy, GDP per capita, literacy levels, and electricity access, Kenya consistently outperforms Nigeria. Nigeria is the fourth most terrorised nation in the world, while Kenya is not among the ten worst. Kenya’s HDI ranking is 143 out of 180 countries, with a coefficient of about 0.630, compared to Nigeria’s ranking of 164 out of 180, with a coefficient of about 0.530. Its GDP per capita is roughly $2,200–$2,300, compared to Nigeria’s $807–$835. Kenya’s poverty rate is about 43% of the population (approximately 23 million people), while Nigeria’s is about 63% (around 150 million people), over six times that of Kenya. Kenya’s life expectancy is about 67 years, while Nigeria’s is about 54 years. The literacy rate in Kenya is approximately 81–85%, compared to Nigeria’s 62–65%. Kenya’s electricity access is higher, while Nigeria has one of the lowest levels of electricity access in the world. Kenya has about 3.5 million out-of-school children, while Nigeria has about 20 million. Kenya’s inflation rate has been about 4.5% or lower over the past three years, while Nigeria’s has remained above 15% within the same period. Kenya’s exchange rate has been around USD 1 to KES 130 over the past three years, whereas Nigeria’s exchange rate rose from below ₦500/$1 to above ₦1,250/$1 within the same period. Even with developments in the Middle East and rising oil prices, Kenyans have not experienced the sharp increases in petroleum product prices seen in Nigeria. Across other key indicators, Kenya also performs better. In the end, these indices clearly show that Kenya ranks higher than Nigeria on several development metrics. The standard of living of Kenyans is better than that of Nigerians. If the President considers Kenyans to be suffering despite these stronger figures, then Nigerians are in a far more difficult situation. He should therefore refrain from self-consolation and, in honest reflection, take responsibility for the situation and make a determined effort to drive improvement. This requires a posture of humility, accountability, and commitment to addressing the factors that have slowed Nigeria’s development. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Dear Esteemed Members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Fellow patriots and nation-builders, As we stand at this critical crossroads in Nigeria’s history, one truth rings louder than ever: Peter Obi is the perfect candidate to defeat the APC and Tinubu in 2027 and to finally deliver the Nigeria of our dreams. Why? Because he is the president Nigeria can actually afford. Unlike other aspirants weighed down by heavy political baggage, Peter Obi carries none of the burdens that have crippled previous leaderships: *No large family obligations draining public resources *No army of political associates demanding contracts and favours *No expensive lifestyle or taste for luxury that turns governance into a personal ATM *No cabal waiting to hijack the Villa *No long list of enemies to fight or decades-old grudges to settle *No foreign liabilities or diploma controversies *No belief in marabouts or supernatural powers dictating policy *No interfering First Lady or First Family turning the seat of power into a family enterprise *No Weakness that comes with old age He comes clean, focused, and ready to work for Nigeria and not for himself or a small circle of cronies. But Peter Obi is not just “affordable” PO is highly effective. His agility and energy are unmatched. He moves across the country with ease, listens to the people, and makes decisions without drama. He will: 1. Ruthlessly cut the cost of governance so that every kobo works for the people 2. Spend government money wisely, strictly on priorities that matter 3. Channel massive resources into human capital; education, health, and lifting millions out of poverty 4. Place National Unity for Prosperity at the very top of his agenda; one nation, one destiny, shared progress 5. Our institutions will be strengthened and made truly independent, free from interference by any arm of government. 6. True separation of powers will return: Federal, State, and Local Governments will function as genuine partners, not rivals. 7. Security agencies will be fully empowered, properly funded, and focused on protecting every Nigerian’s life and property. This is not just another campaign promise. This is Peter Obi’s proven track record speaking for itself, a man who has governed before with integrity, frugality, and results. ADC members, the moment has come. The people are tired of recycled politics, expensive governance, and broken promises. They are hungry for a leader they can trust, afford, and be proud of. Let us rally behind Peter Obi, the man who can defeat APC/Tinubu not with money or machinery, but with character, compassion, competence, and a clear vision. Together, we will build the Nigeria of our dreams: secure, united, prosperous, and truly for all. A president we can afford🤝 Peter Obi for President 2027!
