INEC Under Scrutiny as Zekeri Idris Questions Electronic Results Handling
His words
“The matter is clear. And you know why this thing vexed me? Let me just tell you why I’m very angry. I spoke vehemently against the new tax policy. Not because taxes is bad. I’ve always said it. Taxes is feeding the goose that lays the golden egg. The problem with this Nigerian goose, especially this Bola Tinubu goose, is that this goose eats too much.
This goose is f@t. This goose is inefficient. This goose lays no eggs. So you are a goose that lays no eggs and you want to keep eating by way of taxes. Yesterday as I entered Lagos for this program, I go one place, one bar where they near that river, close to Eko Link Bridge there. I go sit down there, I drink two b£er. And they say one b£er now 5,500, two come be 11,000.
You know how much I pay as tax? 850 Naira for drinking b£er. It’s boldly written. This is your amount. This is the tax you pay on the amount for this same Eko. And then you can electronically collect my tax. You’re not a negotiator with me, but you cannot electronically transfer election results. We haven’t been talking about that Obi win here, Obi no win.
I support Obi. I will likely support him again. Not because it’s a saint. Saints don’t exist on earth. But Obi to me represents the face of the Nigeria that we are looking forward to. The new Nigeria that is possible. All right? Tinubu has had his time.
