Nigerian Governors’ Meeting in Abuja Yields Key Discussions as the Outcome Revealed…
The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) wrapped up a late-night meeting in Abuja on Wednesday without reaching a consensus on President Bola Tinubu’s contentious tax reform bills.
The governors’ failure to reach an agreement resulted in the unusual omission of a post-meeting communiqué.
Sources close to the meeting revealed that the highly criticized tax bills were the focal point of the governors’ deliberations.
The bills have faced rejection from the 19 northern governors and the National Economic Council (NEC), intensifying the divide among state leaders.
A meeting attended by 15 governors, mostly from the All Progressives Congress (APC), plus Governors Alex Otti of Abia and Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra, concluded without an official statement.
The governors’ silence following their meeting has only added to the speculation surrounding the unresolved disagreements and the fate of the contentious reforms.
