The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has intensified its opposition to President Bola Tinubu’s proposed tax reforms, reflecting a significant conservative backlash. As the government pushes for a comprehensive overhaul of Nigeria’s tax system to boost national revenue, the NEF and other critics express concerns about potential negative impacts on businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises. This resistance underscores broader apprehensions about economic growth and the political consequences of implementing such reforms without widespread support. Public opinion remains divided, highlighting the challenges Tinubu’s administration faces in achieving consensus amidst mounting socio-political tensions.
