Borno State Governor Claims The Tax Reform Bill Will Only Benefit Lagos State
The Governor of Borno State, Nigeria, Babagana Zulum states that the Tax Reform bills will only benefit Lagos state and not Nigeria. In an interview the Governor shares his opinions on the decision being made and how it will not affect Lagos state.
“We rejected the tax reform bill; it will bring backwardness to the North, and not only to the North, but also to the South East, South South, and South West. Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, and Ondo will also have problems; it will only benefit Lagos.”
“He should not pay attention to voices suggesting that the northern population does not support him; that perception is inaccurate. He said what they want is for him to withdraw the Tax reform bills.”
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
