Tinubu Did The Same Thing In Lagos; He Raised Taxes, And Made Money Shared By Politicians– Onyekpere

Ezeh Onyekpere, head of the Center for Social Justice (CENSOJ), also described the proposed salary increase as absurd, illogical, and contrary to common sense.

“The proposed increase is irrational, illogical, and contrary to reason and common sense because President Bola Ahmed Tinubu asked Nigerians to sacrifice and give something in the national interest. The masses of Nigerians were expected to make such sacrifices, and the poorest would have suffered more with a sacrifice that should inform management that told us to tithe our zones.

“Hindu has risen because people have lost their job and livelihood, and their salary can no longer take them home because, after the withdrawal of subsidies, PMS has become more expensive, and, of course, the liberalization of the monetary system.” So it was expected that the leadership should have offered something in return or even reduced rather than think of increasing, so that the sacrifice of the troops would be somewhat close, not that it would be the same as the sacrifices of the Nigerian people.

“It is a great shame; it is the same thing that Bola Tinubu did in Lagos; he raised taxes, made more money, and of course it was shared by the Lagos political class.” Nothing has improved in Lagos, which is why, in the political era, they lied that Tinubu built Lagos. What did Tinubu build? The 3rd Mainland Bridge, the Cather Bridge, the National Theatre, the Lagos Airports, the Army Barracks, the NTA? No, what exactly did he build? He wants to make Nigerians pay more money so that the political class will sit down and share the money.
