'FIRS Should Continue to Collect VAT And Share, Not States' — Governor Umahi | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has declined supporting colleagues from Rivers, Lagos and other states in their bids to collect Value Added Tax, VAT.

Governor David Umahi asserted that the Federal Internal Revenue Service should be the best entity to collect VAT.

Umahi stated this a dinner put up to honour the former Chief of Army Staff and Nigerian Ambassador to the Benin Republic, Amb. Tukur Buratai, on Monday night, at the Governor’s Lodge, Centenary City, Abakaliki.

According to the Governor, Ebonyi is solidly behind the status quo, and would continually throw its weight behind the collection of VAT by the FIRS.

Umahi emphatically reiterated Ebonyi’s support for the collection of VAT by the FIRS, saying “Evil will continue to thrive if good people keep quiet.”

“We must make Ebonyi State very exceptional by rising to the challenges. When we shout true federalism, I say, I agree; but it should be administrative restructuring.

“Ebonyi State is not in support of any state collecting VAT. We are in support that FIRS should continue to collect tax and share.”

“People are taking special interest in Ebonyi State and her Governor, positively and negatively; but it is very important to be in the news than for you to say there are 36 states, you will name 35 and say what is the other state?
“We have aborted it; we are now a state to reckon with and we have no apologies.

“When I say I have no apologies, you can talk everything about me but you can not say we have not delivered and so when people open their mouths in PDP to talk about APC, they should know that I belong to APC and if they like, let PDP offer any of their best Governors to come for debate with me and I will defeat any of them; it’s not just to be talking and talking. You don’t sit on people’s sweat and resources and be talking nonsense.

“We have no regrets taking our people to the centre. We have always played at the centre. We are not playing party politics, we are playing politics that will be an advantage to our people, criticise me; no problems. But we need resources, we need friendship with the centre,” Umahi stated
