Pursuant to the invitation of the House of Representatives on the engagement with leaders of political parties on Constitution Review, we members of Youth Party hereby submit the following proposals for your consideration as part of the review and amendment of the 1999 Constitution on the listed issues: Click to download and read.
We wish to thank our members, supporters and voters for supporting and voting for our candidates at the Saturday, 12th July, 2025, Lagos State Local Government Elections. We are grateful for your exceptional support with your time, resources and votes.
Expectedly, the Lagos State Local Government Elections were shambolic and blatantly rigged against our candidates with reckless and shameless abandon. From the onset, LASIEC was designed to be openly partisan. It was packed with openly competitive APC politicians as Commissioners. No proper notice was issued for the election. The voters register was not displayed in consonance with the law. Our candidates were harassed and intimidated by LASIEC under guise of verification. And, invited to DSS for “profiling” as part of the intimidation campaign.
On Election Day, LASIEC officially sanctioned rigging by allowing APC supporters to vote without voter’s cards. No card reader. No BVAS. Ballot stuffing and Multiple thumb printing were the order of the day in Ward B1, Lagos Island Local Government. Voting materials were either not brought or arrived very late in Eti Osa Local Government . Generally, the voter’s turn out was exceptionally low and less than 5% of the registered voters turned out to vote. However, the rigged results shockingly and shamelessly reflected a 20-30% voters turn out.
Nonetheless, the election showed a considerable love for our Party. We were obviously the preferred party without rigging as we beat all the parties in the constituencies where we ran. We dominated the elections against AA, PDP, ZLP and others.
Our Party will review the results and take a considered decision on the rigged outcome of the elections. Once again, we thank you for your exceptional support.
Let’s “Shape the Future” together.

Youth Party hereby dissociates itself from a group of individuals who have been unlawfully impersonating and misrepresenting our Party as associates or representatives at the Forum of the National Youth Leaders of All Political Parties in Nigeria (FNLYLPPN). Most importantly, we vehemently states that Youth Party is not a part of the aforesaid Forum of the National Youth Leaders of All Political Parties in Nigeria (FNLYLPPN) and it is not associated with it in any way. Or, intend to be part of it.

They were also reportedly fraudulently collecting monies on behalf of our great Party. Anyone giving any financial inducement to anyone on behalf of our party does so at his or her own risk The activities they are engaged in does not represent the ideologies, values, mission, or goals of Youth Party and we totally condemn such actions. As a Party committed to upholding transparency, fairness, and accountability, we are taking immediate steps to investigate these fraudulent activities and will not hesitate to involve the relevant law enforcement agencies to address any illegal actions arising from this situation. The perpetrators of this deception will be held fully accountable for their actions. We also want to reassure our members and the general public that Youth Party remains focused on its core principles of integrity, service to the people, and the advancement of democratic values. Any individuals or groups who engage in activities that mislead or manipulate the public for personal or political gain do not represent the ideals for which our Party was founded and stands for.

While our party supports the tax reform bills, we condemn the dysfunctional manner of their proposed enactment through the National Assembly. We argue that the APC Government is unnecessarily dividing the country along ethnic and geographical lines without thoroughly examining the legal and political feasibility of the bills, particularly the VAT Act.
Clearly, the lack of consensus within the ruling party and among its governors has triggered internal conflicts capable of sabotaging the merits of the proposed bills. A situation where the National Economic Council, membered by 36 state governors (22 of whom are members of the APC) and chaired by the Vice President, have called for the withdrawal of the bill suggests the need for wider consultation. Similarly, the openly contradictory positions between the Senate President and his deputy, both of whom are members of the ruling party, on the suspension of the legislative process, calls for concern.
Nigeria faces critical challenges that underscore its urgent need for comprehensive revenue generation. Currently, our tax income is one of the lowest in the world at 8% to GDP. 4th lowest globally and 2nd lowest in Africa. The country ranks first in out-of-school children, with an alarming infant mortality rate where one in ten Nigerians dies before age five. Healthcare remains inadequate, and police forces are unequipped, untrained, and unfit for 21st-century policing. These systemic issues are compounded by a significant revenue problem characterized by high recurrent expenditure and mounting national debt.
Thus, the tax reform bills align with our 2020 Bold Revenue Policy, advocating for increasing tax income through strategic approaches. We proposed reducing tax rates, expanding the tax base particularly for corporate entities, eliminating multiple taxation, and simplifying tax administration.
Constitutionally, Sections 12, 162, and 163 suggest VAT/Consumption tax is on the concurrent legislative list, meaning the Federal Government can only legislate on inter-state transactions. Consequently, the VAT bill’s provisions relating to intra state consumption tax conflicts with the constitution, potentially inviting significant legal challenges.
VAT is a tax on consumption. VAT is paid where consumption is done. Constitutionally and based on various judicial decisions like the Supreme Court decision in Aberuagba v. Ogun State, there are two types of VAT. The VAT collected on intra State trade belongs to the State of derivation, while those on inter State trade are for the Federal Government to share at FAAC. All VAT collected by the Customs on importation also goes to FAAC. If the bill is passed as is, it would face needless legal challenges and uncertainties. Similarly, the Supreme Court held in A.G. Of Lagos v. Eko Hotel that VAT and Consumption Tax are the same and amount to double taxation on consumers.
Our recommended approach involves passing the bills piecemeal with the uncontroversial ones initially. And, VAT after wider consultation. Also, the outcome of the wider consultation and alignment can be implemented by each state promulgating or amending a consumption tax law at 7.5%, applicable to transactions by individuals and businesses within their jurisdiction. Whilst, the National Assembly passes consumption tax for inter state transactions Corporate-to-corporate transaction taxes.
While a constitutional amendment could provide a comprehensive solution, this may not be time efficient. Therefore, we suggest passing the other less controversial bills and suggest wider consultations on the VAT bill.
