Date:

By Haruna Salami

The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio has warned that the controversy surrounding the Tax Laws must be put to an end.
He therefore directed that the Clerk of the Senate should give each member gazette copies to show that it was what the National Assembly passed that was assented to by President Bola Tinubu.
Akpabio said the certified true copy must be given by the Clerk of the Senate and certified by the Clerk of the National Assembly to avoid any confusion.
“So, you take it directly from us because I understand that there is another version that was circulating around, it was not in compliance with what were contained in our votes and proceedings and also this has taken cognizance of what happens in the House and the votes and proceedings, what happens in the Senate and also what happens in the committee on harmonization and signed by Mr. President”.
According to him, what President Tinubu signed into law “is totally in compliance with what happened in the two chambers; no adulteration, nothing.
At this stage now, you can feel bold enough to discard anything that is to the contrary, knowing that it is not what the president signed and it does not represent what you passed.
