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!
