Speaking on January 22, 2026, Oshiomhole emphasized that the reforms are designed to protect low-income earners, many of whom will pay little to no tax.
He dismissed fears that workers will bear the brunt, calling such concerns misleading and based on misinformation.
The progressive tax system ensures higher earners pay more, while shielding the majority with modest incomes.
Drawing on his experience as a former NLC president, Oshiomhole urged Nigerians to focus on facts, not rumors, highlighting that fair taxation is vital for national development and social welfare.
