Peter obi on buhari taxing poor nigerians

The vice presidential candidate for the people's Democratic party PDP have come out to say that the current administration is leading nigeria into a state of perpetual poverty,by trying to tax "poor nigerians".

Peter obi highlighted some serious problems which this current government aren't doing anything reasonable to stop it from causing more harms to nigerians,

Obi in Lagos yesterday said : “We need to know where we are going as a nation but with Buhari at the helms of affairs, we do not know where we are going. Buhari is not in charge of this government as he does not know or care what the poor people are going through,”.

ake look at the budget presented by the President a few days ago and you will see that it does not give anyone hope instead, it tells us that we are still where we have always been.

“A quarter of the budget is meant to service debts, and that is about 60% of the budget while the President keeps telling Nigerians to tighten their belts because of the harsh times staring at us in the future.

“Does that give anyone confidence in this government? Not at all, I dare say. While presenting the budget, he said that the government is looking for ways to tax Nigerians the more. What are you taxing the poor people for?
