National Assembly Has Become a Rubber Stamp for Tinubu, Kwankwaso Says

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, accused the National Assembly of approving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s proposals without adequately considering their consequences. Speaking at the inauguration of the NDC campaign council in Dutse, Jigawa State, he criticized the passage of the tax reform bills and alleged that implementation had been delayed out of fear of losing the 2027 election. Kwankwaso also questioned the federal government’s continued borrowing despite tax revenues and urged Nigerians to hold elected representatives accountable.
