‘We Reject Your Plan To Impose New Taxes On Nigerians’ – PDP Tells President Buhari

The PDP Presidential Campaign Organization has condemned plans by
President Buhari to impose new taxes on Nigerians who they say are
‘already overburdened, impoverished and pauperized by his incompetent,
insensitive, uncaring, vindictive and corrupt administration’.

The party in a statement said, ‘It is disheartening that instead
of President Buhari to seek ways to recover the over N14 trillion looted
under his cover by APC leaders and the cabal in his Presidency, Mr.
President is seeking to inflict more pain on distraught Nigerians, by
imposing new taxes on them in the coming year’.

The PPCO holds that Nigerians have suffered too much and have made
immeasurable sacrifices under this overtly corrupt and oppressive
administration, that is running archaic, harsh and anti-people economic
policies.

Why would President Buhari want to impose more taxes on Nigerians
when he has refused to recover trillions of Naira in unremitted oil
revenue held down by his cronies and APC leaders, under his watch, in
the last three and half years?

We hold that Nigerians are already overtaxed by the Buhari
administration, which has foisted sundry hidden taxes on our day-by-day
goods and services in the most critical sectors of our lives, resulting
in high costs that have made life miserable for our citizens.

By thinking of imposing new taxes, President Buhari has shown that he
is less concerned about the plight of our citizens, who have suffered
so much hardship under his insensitive regime that they now resort to
suicide and slavery mission outside the shores of our country as
options.

Moreover, our nation abound with huge natural and human resources
which President Buhari’s administration, in its incompetence, lacks the
capacity to harness, leading to this resort to Further fleecing of
Nigerians.

The PPCO in rejecting the planned new taxes, charges President
Buhari, who has confessed to his inability to run our economy, to get
ready to quit the stage, as Nigerians are now rallying behind the PDP
Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who understands the art of
wealth creation and management of resources, that puts no undue burden
on our hardworking compatriots.

Enough is Enough!
