My people, abeg make we jive small about wetin dey happen for Osun State. Dis chieftain wey dem dey call Gideon Aloba, wey dey represent Labour Party, don dey open mouth talk say Federal Government need to shine eye for wetin dem dey do with our money, no be small.
Aloba drop serious gist, he dey beckon on dem wey dey manage our resources make dem show us wetin dem dey do with our money before dem go come talk say dem wan implement new tax law from January 1, 2026. E no too dey nice when you wey dey hustle hard, go con dey pay more tax without dem showing you how dem dey spend wetin you don work for.
Na wetin Aloba dey talk be dis o, he no wan make any government dey impose fresh tax wey no get sense for our people unless dem don first gree open dem financial books make we sabi how dem dey spend money wey belong to us.
According to am, Naija people dey suffer already, inflation dey waka like say we chop am like chop, and the economic hard times e loud pass bell. Wetin we dey face fit make person vex, because e dey look like say politicians only sabi enjoy our money.
“How you go come dey ask citizens to dey contribute more to public purse, when you no fit give us clarity on wetin you don dey spend before?” na wetin Aloba dey reason. E talk am for statement wey e share with Saturday PUNCH. E still dey emphasize say e dey important make government dey transparent about all dis money matter.
Aloba wey don contest House of Representatives for Ijesa South in 2023, don clear say government owe Nigerians proper account of all public spending before dis new tax law go fit see light of day. E dey try tell dem say we dey ready to pay tax, but abeg, make dem show us say we fit trust dem with our hard-earned money.
Look, e no go sweet if dem talk say we go dey pay tax like people wey dey developed country, but our leaders no dey follow same strict standard. E get as e go be if dem wan collect our money without show us say dem dey manage am well.”
Na wetin Aloba dey scream, and I go just dey look as e go be. Nigerian people don suffer tire, and e no good make dem continue for dis route. Awon politician dem need to open dem eye and remember say dem no dey rule for demself alone.
