Doyin Okupe, a former presidential spokesman, has described opponents of the proposed tax reform bills as “enemies of the country.”

According to Okupe, the bills are designed to protect the poor and tackle corruption. “Any right-thinking human being who has had the opportunity to listen and to read what the tax reforms are all about and goes against it, is an enemy of the country,” he said.

Okupe argued that the proposed laws would exempt companies with a turnover below N50m from taxation and ensure that taxation is based on revenue generated and profit made, rather than turnover.

He also faulted concerns about the timing and speed of the bills, saying that whatever is causing economic and financial hemorrhage must be given the speed it requires.

Okupe called on the President to monitor revenue-generating agencies to remove corruption and ensure that Nigerians benefit from the proposed tax reforms.
