Hold onto your seats, because a lawmaker just dropped a bombshell on national TV.
Hon. Afam Ogene, a key figure in the House, didn’t mince words when he revealed that the official copy of the new tax law was secretly changed after politicians passed it. He’s pointing fingers straight at the executive branch, calling the move nothing short of “executive rascality.”
So, what’s the drama? Ogene says that after the National Assembly did their job—debating, holding public hearings, and finally passing the bill—someone on the other side got too “over-zealous.” They apparently tweaked the gazetted version that goes to the President, altering what was agreed upon.
“People think executive bills should come back exactly as they sent them,” Ogene said, hinting at a push for a rubber-stamp legislature. “But it can’t be garbage in, garbage out. That’s why 360 of us are there!”
He’s now leading a probe to uncover who did what—whether it was individuals or entire agencies. The message is clear: someone tried to pull a fast one on the Nigerian people, and the House is on the case.
This isn’t just politics; it’s about the money in your pocket. Stay tuned.
