Kwankwaso's Critique
Kwankwaso, the Vice-Presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), criticized the National Assembly for approving presidential proposals without considering public concerns or potential consequences.
Kwankwaso's Concerns
- The approval of the tax reform bills, despite public opposition and concerns about their impact on ordinary citizens.

Kwankwaso's Urgent Call
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso called on Nigerians to hold their elected representatives accountable and reject leaders who do not prioritize the needs of the common man.
Kwankwaso's Warnings
