Neda Imasuen (LP-Edo) has described President Bola Tinubu’s led administration as courageous and responsible.

Mr Imasuen, representing the Edo South senatorial district, said this in Abuja on Wednesday.

He said this was so because Mr Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ was traceable and lauded the president for showing the courage required to revive Nigeria’s ailing economy with his tax reform bill.

According to him, the tax reform bill has generational impact and if passed into law, it will help revamp Nigeria’s economy with sustainable development.

“In our last public hearing meeting, there was no dissenting voice because everyone has realised its future benefits,” he said.

The lawmaker called on Nigerians to support the tax reform.

Mr Imasuen also dismissed insinuations that Nigeria was drifting to a one-party state.

He explained that defection to other political parties in politics was inseparable from the Nigerian style of politics.

He expressed his preparedness to continue to support the president in providing good governance to Nigerians.
