Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi, on Friday, knocked his colleagues on the platform of the Southern Governors’ Forum over their resolution supporting the collection of the Value Added Tax by states.
Although Rivers and Lagos states have started the process of collecting VAT within their territories, the Court of Appeal in a ruling on September 10 stopped the collection pending the determination of an appeal filed by the Federal Inland Revenue Service against the judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt.
The Southern Governors’ Forum led by Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu , reading a communiqué at the end of a meeting on Thursday had said, “The meeting resolved to support the position that the collection of VAT falls within the powers of the states.”But speaking on the television programme on Friday, Umahi, who was represented at the meeting in Enugu by his deputy, Kelechi Igwe, said the resolution of the Forum does not reflect his stand on the issue.
Oka nma na ero.. Do you even understand what it means to be your brothers keeper? Come back when you understand the Difference between being your brothers keeper and Betraying your brothers… ☹️
Errand boy.... E choke!
I only see desperation in the part of Umahi.
This is the worst sycophant to ever come out of the south My problem with him is that he can’t even play the role of a sycophant very well
Is Ebonyi viable with FEC allocation?
yOrUbAs are bEtrAyAls 😖😖
Of course Ebonyi state won’t support collection of VAT bcos the state is one of the top 10 poorest states in Nigeria and the poorest state in the southern region. He enjoys taking private jet to Abuja to collect monthly allowance and can’t think of generating income in his state.
He will sing a new song very soon. Let's sit and watch.
Selfish you. They will never unite..
Aka economic and fiscal lethargy. 🤡
No be who get dey give? See Ebonyi wey be North inside east oo
See im face
anything to please his masters 🤦♀️
Even APC stunch and strong hold wants state to collect VAT that's what is in constitution but Dave Umahi said No. Since this man cross to APC he has sacrifice the future of Ebonyi people to fulani hegemony .
How much is Ebonyi generating self, he can help jigawa and gombe, I pity indigenous people that live there
Lazy saboteur!
Says the son that points his father's house with his left hand..... Odé
Dude do ur homework and stop expecting free fund, if u cant generate money from a state of over 2million inhabitants then you dont fit to lead them, resign honorably and let others do the job if u cant
And those that own this business they are destroying is who's brother?
Umahi is a mad man
Where is you love for your people, North is destroying the economy of the south and you are talking about brother keeper, the gold mined in the North why are they not sharing with the South, don't be a slave boy trying to get out of EFCC list after your tenure.
Sometimes I dey wonder who this man wan impress and why 😂😂😂
Ambition can make a fool of men.
Uchu!
Lol
Family matters now, kwa
But d brother u want to keep is killing you n enslaving ur children?
I thought he was shouting before? 🤣😂😂🤣
This is Hypocrisy
Umahi is a fool.
Mudafuka
mikelodegreat Irresponsible idiot.
Horrible human that can do anything to be in Buhari's good book, my happiness is that power is transient, where is Jonathan, IBB , Abacha, where are they
Does the North practice being your Brothers Keeper?
Umahiiii EBONYI STATE is BIAFRA LAND you can be generating our money giving it to your slave masters soon you will join them in the North you don't belong to EBONYI STATE
Fool.
Fulani people are not 'brothers keepers' when their hisbah destroy businesses in the name of Sharia, during their government appointments and in support of terrorism. This Umahi must be a fool
Mumu man!
How many people has Umahi taken care off in his own state before extending it to the north.
Northern cow don b!t€ Umahi. He now speaks in northern language. Be your brothers keeper.
Once lagos and rivers set the pace, other states will fall in line so this is just animal noise
We're the fulanis their brother's keeper when they went about killing, raping, maiming and destroying propertise of other tribes? Umahi us a hypocrite, together with Hopeless Uzodinjo.
Lol, how much is Ebonyi state generating?
Ebonyi doesn't have anything to give, it's one of the parasite states
He can leave the southern governors meeting,he’s of no use to them
Who is your brother? Onye Nzuzu
If ebonyi people keep quiet on this thats means they don't like themselves..nonsense man
Fulani errand boy thinking they’d consider him for 2023 that won’t happen.
2)....southern states are generating.l
1) There is nothing in Ebonyi. VAT revenue from that state is very poor. Katsina, Kogi and some northern states generate more than Ebonyi. This is why they want federal govt to be collecting it so that they can be benefitting from what Lagos and Rivers and other productive....
Being your brothers keeper is by standing by your brothers decision even if it doesn't appeal to you. This stand by Ebonyi state Governor is one of the many set back of the Igbo Nation (South East) never respecting collective decisions.
WomanOfVoice In 2 more years you will no longer be relevant in Ebonyi. Ask Martin Elechi.
This umahi na Bokohari real ashawo
Someone should please silence this man
These Igbo Governors live in SABO. Bunch of saboteurs.
Mumu man
Who will brother keeper the south, senseless talk.
Feel free to cede your allocation to your 'brothers', impoverish your people on the altar of politics.
And who will brothers keeper to the South? Why is the south constantly doing the keeping and the other ones doing the eating and destroying? Restructure Nigeria abeg. He doesn't speak for Ebonyi people.
What do u have in your Ebonyi. Do u think we are talking of beans here. U better keep waiting the coin u collect from the FG.
Weyrey wettin your state dey bring to the table… all they want is to enjoy from people doing the real work and not doing anything…
Igbo people are very good people but they have a very bad and selfish leaders, who doesn't care about its people. For igbos to survive in Nigeria they must do something about their evil leaders those people are evil.
Hahahhaha Desperate Fulani lapdog🐕🐕 Just to be presidential nominee of APC. Only an Igbo man will fight against his own brother. All the other SW supported the movement.
Useless
Why hollering, when you collect your VAT, take it to aso rock. So simple!!!
What's Ebonyi GDP again ?
Ebonyi is parasite nah. Why should they try such a suicide mission. An unproductive state can never support VAT collection by States
Mumu Slave licking Buhari Anus
Your brother’s keeper with Igbos money ? Saboteurs everywhere
Umahi will be heartbroken and disappointed at last when 2023 approaches! Adeu Umahi.
Not that his state Ebonyi is really bringing anything to the table anyways. I will pass
