Amid the raging Covid-19 pandemic, All Progressives Congress stalwart, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has asked the Federal Government to stop collection of the Value Added Tax immediately.

Recall that the government of the President, Maj. Gen Muhammadu Buhari , had last month increased VAT from five per cent to 7.5 per cent.

However, Tinubu said the government must reduce the sufferings of Nigerians by introducing tax cuts while the Central Bank of Nigeria must reduce interest ratesHe wrote, “Government should announce a tax credit or partial tax reduction for companies or firms. VAT should be suspended for the next two to four months. This will help lower import costs and protect against shortages.

“We need to protect the people from food shortages and high prices. As such, we must quickly improve farm-to-market delivery of agricultural produce. Also, government should initiate a crash program to decrease spoilage of agricultural produce by construction of storage facilities in local marketplaces in and around major cities and towns throughout the country.”

Thanks for this

Remita will go broke ooo. Think am wella na.

This man seeking relevance of late

Governance is a blessing from God

krazeebobby Why is this man just getting his voice now...is it Bcos Abba Kyari is Sick?

TINUlooter king.... With all the loot you can't donate.. Na to embezzel, corner Lagos money with proxy companies and enrich agberos

Exactly that vat shit is annoying

This one wey jagaban is concerned now. ...hope all is well

DM if you are interested in any art work of your choice.....

So you know and you have been sucking the Nation down

follow for follow

This done, better survival kit against covik 1-9

So you want this done during this Corona right or you've not been in the country since.....👇👇👇👇

Suspend VAT and print more naira notes? This man is confused really.

NOTE

Data charges too

Dat 1 go hear u ni MBuhari

Me Sef don Tire For The VAT

Stop telling FG sir please join Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu Obasanjo and the rest to contribute your quota to fighting the Covid19. Not necessarily money .

At least before they deduct the small salary somebody is expecting...

Who will it benefit?...just a question

Some peoples hero.... Their dream presido

Tinubu 2023

Am not his fan but I agree with him on this...

Fool

Baba is campaigning already😂😂😂

Ordinary VAT... What a fuck is happening to us self..Donald Trump is give each American 441,000 to each citizens this fish eye guy is tell FG to suspend 1 useless VAT.

Help me tell MBuhari AsiwajuTinubu elrufai ..Nigerian are hungry. The cost of livelihoods getting higher everyday. Imagine a bag of sachets water pure or impure cost ₦130, some places ₦150.. Bread of 350 is now 400.

What has VAT got to do with the virus? Make your own donation. If na for election, you for don reel out bullion vans for vite buying.

Baba don go shake his ogbo.... new talking sense....

But your boys still dey collect money for the 2 toll gates in lekki, thief oga bullion van

Obviously...Tinubu should stop talking because the actions he is suggesting can't bring the solution we want... I will worsen the economy

Next president of lagos state abi?see eyes Ojuyobo

The only good thing you have said so far

mzgbemmy Who is fooling who?

Jagaban donate 1 of those bullion vans na. Which ones?

It would be a welcome development

AsiwajuTinubu big daddy Sir, Lagos need more money to attend to large cases in the coming weeks. We will appreciate you donating more relief materials.

How do we balance this ? FG just increased VAT by 2.5% in other generate more revenue but here we are, oil revenue drops, total luck down on the whole economy May begins. ‘Recession’ back to back negative growth

This man has a lot for our money in his care 🥺

Good advise.What about Lagos taxes from which he nets at least 10%.Can he reduce the state taxes since he is still in charge of Lagos and the Governor reports to him.

This better than printing more money, printing more money will lead to hyper inflation and Naira will loose its purchasing power.

Lol. Baba bullion van forget. We can understand better

Send Bullion van to NCDC

Like do they need to be told before they act logically. If not taken out outrightly, slice it by 70%

Not just VAT alone, CIT to small businesses with turnover of N100m and below should be suspended while PAYE to junior workers and self employed artisans should also be suspended till this storm is over.

For once you have said something that will benefit the ordinary Nigerian

Well sir for this you score 1 point..... doesn't make me a fan of yours

He's right on this one.

Cos it affects u more

If it is election now, bullion vans will be struggling with themselves inside his mansion. It is not time for too much talk but time for action. Those of you who have taken so much from the system have an obligation to return some of it or God will not spare any of you.

Even N50 deposit fee to my bank on 10k and above, they still collected it today, wicked government, wicked banks

Where have u been. No be u be national leader ☝️

This any sensible government should do since the FG has no plan to support the people during this time.

Who will even pay during quarantine

When will you stop collecting tolls at the Lekki toll gates?

Tell AsiwajuTinubu to stop this media show b/c he has Buhari's ears 24hrs. He didn't go public when he appealed to Buhari to save Oshiomhole. His billionaire mates are busy donating towards fighting Covid-19, after all, he was responsible for packaging this scam we have today🚶

Upon all the money Tinubu has stolen from Lagos. He couldn't even support government with even if it N1million. But during election time hmmm......

This is a good idea from a super thief.

BAT always drops sensible suggestion while others just wail.

This one even has a human face.

Contribute some thing jooo ,all your mate are donating some thing you just hold your hands ,

Dem head don dey correct small small

Yes o. Let us make our calls in peace. No more VAT.

Why do I smell personal interest....

I support 👍👍👍👍 my light bills running as if it's wearing convas 🤔🤔🤔🤔.

Let's grow our tweeter page, by following each other follow I will follow back ASAP

The chips are down

Jagaban speaks!!!

Stop toll fees too

Especially MTN, their VAT whala too much. Sms, tariff plan migration, recharging, airtime transfer. All they must remove VAT. Wetin apun!

Haaa! Baba is positioning to win the hearts of the electorates but we're tired of the shinagans that APCNigeria AsiwajuTinubu MBuhari Oshiomhole represent. I swear, we are.

hb_guru This one is speaking on behalf of his holdings. Even if they suspend it, that doesn’t mean they will reduce the costs of goods and services they are rendering to the general public.

Even stamp duty.

Will u shatap dir.. Dd u close ur eyes wen it wz increased

Tinubu is now an institution

Personal interest.

This 🐸 has made sense for ¹st time

In his capacity as APC national leader, minister of finance CBN Governor or what?

His financial advisers are working well... Its a way to score good political points ahead of 2023..!!

This one good .

Good advise.

This is acceptable. But that idea of printing more naira notes is totally unacceptable. Inflation will ruin the economy if more notes are printed.

Print money for what? That's the question we should be asking, so they can steal more or to help the poor masses ?

I respects your brain sir, much respectsss... Sir please 🙏, tell them. May God let them listen.

better

See them, self righteous man. Now he is aspiring to be president he now knows all the good humanity needs. Let me shock you, the only president you will be is the president of your house.

Food for thought

Good one

This one makes sense which one is print more Naira notes

🤔🤔i never knew you some people still have sense..😊😊😊😊

The first sensible thing I've heard come from your mouth.

Common sense is not common! I doff my hat for you for you, Jagaban!

Now sense dey come small small

Even in your nonsense, I can smell sense!

Good one from BAT but will the fg listen?

Tell them, if dey don't know how to run economic

Now we know who and who run Nigeria

This is nice.
