Former presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, on Thursday claimed that President Bola Tinubu plans to tax everything in Nigeria, including the oxygen Nigerians breathe.
Adebayo made the statement while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he described the president as a clever tax collector.
“President Tinubu is a clever tax collector, he wants to collect tax for everything including oxygen tax. Very soon, if you’re not careful, just give him time; he is going to get there.
“For example, we gave you refineries to manage and you appointed yourself Minister of Petroleum, we spent billions on turn around maintenance and you are not allowing the refineries to work, you are the reason why we are importing.
“Because we are importing, you went from not paying subsidy to net zero, you now want to surcharge me when the refineries are not working.
“That decision is anti-people and it’s a poor one, Tinubu that was in the SDP that used to follow Abiola everywhere has changed to the side of the money people,” Adebayo said.
