In a recent video on YouTube, Senior Pastor of Champions Royal Assembly, Prophet Joshua Iginla, has warned that Nigeria’s new tax law, despite starting with positive intentions, could generate widespread dissatisfaction and public anger as the country approaches the 2026–2027 political period.
Speaking during a prophetic service, Iginla said his concern was driven by what he foresees as growing pressure on citizens, noting that economic policies, if not carefully managed, could deepen hardship and strain the relationship between the government and the people.
“I’m speaking because 2026, 2027, this new tax law that will start wonderful, but there’s going to be a lot of dissatisfaction,” the cleric said. “There will be a lot of pain, and it will lead to bad blood.”
The prophet explained that while fiscal reforms are often necessary, the timing and implementation of such policies matter, especially in a period marked by economic challenges and political sensitivity. According to him, rising costs of living and additional tax burdens could fuel resentment if citizens feel overburdened or excluded from the benefits of governance.
Iginla expressed concern that prolonged public dissatisfaction could make governance increasingly difficult and polarizing, particularly as the nation heads toward another election cycle. He stressed that policies perceived as harsh or insensitive might erode public trust and weaken national cohesion.
“I pray that this government, before they finish, should not be unpopular,” he added, emphasizing the importance of balancing economic reforms with compassion and clear communication.
The cleric urged political leaders to pay close attention to public sentiment and prioritize policies that ease hardship rather than intensify it. He also called for dialogue and transparency in policy implementation to prevent misunderstand.
