A bunch of civil society groups are backing the Speaker over the tax law drama. Over one hundred organizations, including the Parliamentary Support and Advocacy Network, publicly endorsed Speaker Tajudeen Abbas for his handling of the review process for four major new tax statutes. The coalition praised the measured and constitutional response to public concerns about discrepancies in the recently signed laws, which include the Nigeria Tax Act and the Nigeria Revenue Service Act. They argued the actions by the National Assembly leadership were institutionally exemplary.

The group's convener, Comrade Ogiri John, stated that their careful examination found the response fully aligned with the constitution and parliamentary rules. They highlighted the directive to re-gazette the acts and provide certified copies as a key move for transparency. John emphasized the high stakes of the tax reforms for the country's fiscal future, calling precision in law-making a duty rather than a delay. The coalition appealed for patience to let the constitutional process conclude, reaffirming support for the economic reforms while stressing a commitment to the rule of law.
