PRP Demands Investigation, Warns Tinubu May Face Impeachment
The People’s Redemption Party (PRP) impeachment call is coming as the party has demanded that the National Assembly launch a full investigation into alleged manipulation of Nigeria’s newly introduced tax laws, warning that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should face impeachment if found linked to the controversial alterations.
The opposition party made the statement in reaction to claims that tax bills passed by the National Assembly were altered before being gazetted — a development it described as a grave constitutional violation capable of undermining democracy.
According to PRP, the reported discrepancies between what lawmakers approved and what was eventually gazetted point to a deliberate attempt to tamper with the rule of law, raising suspicion of executive interference. The party insists that if evidence points to presidential involvement, impeachment should follow without hesitation.
The PRP further called for the immediate suspension of the disputed tax laws and urged the government to ensure transparency by making certified copies of the original bills public. It also vowed to challenge the matter in court should authorities fail to take decisive action.
Several civil society groups and political organisations, including the ADC and the League of Northern Democrats, have issued similar statements, calling for legislative scrutiny and accountability. Public debate continues to intensify as Nigerians await official clarification from the Federal Government.
Why This Matters
The controversy has sparked national concern, with many questioning the integrity of the legislative process and the future of Nigeria’s tax policy. Analysts say the outcome of investigations could have far-reaching implications for governance, public trust, and the political climate heading into 2026.
