MyX1:
Dr Ikpeazu has no business with how the documents was made or the entries in it & it is laughable to allege as some persons do that he "forged" his tax documents. BIR made statements to say they are responsible for the document & its contents. If Dr. Ikpeazu had prepared the docs himself using a computer or printing press or forged the signature on an otherwise genuine receipt, that would be a different case. When I handled the first case on this issue filed by BARR. F.N. Nwosu at the FHC, Abuja which I got struck out & which is on similar grounds as the one decided today instituted by UCHE Ogah, the grounds for the action were as follows (BRIEFLY because it is impossible to fully discuss the facts on this sort of forum):
1. That the serial numbers on the tax receipts were dodgy because the three years were written in the same document one after the other; this is however to no issue. Dr. Ikpeazu was a PAYEE; receipts for Payees are only issued when requested & so the years demanded will be written in the same booklet one after the other & so the question of how separate years were written in the same booklet does not arise;
2. Every tax year by convention ALL OVER THE WORLD ends on 31st December. If you ask for your tax receipt for 2015 today, it will be dated 31st Dec. 2015; if you asked to be assessed for 2016 & you pay it today in June, it will still be dated 31st December 2016 & that does not amount to forgery or false statement.
3. That 31st December of a particular year happens to fall on a Saturday or Sunday which is a non-working day does not make the tax receipt a forgery, etc
4. It was non-issues and others such as the following that was litigated. When we get a copy of the judgement we will address it in full.
5. For now it is enough to draw the attention of the public to the provisions allegedly breached by Dr. Ikpeazu which is S. 31(5) of the Electoral Act: "Any person who has reasonable grounds to believe that any information GIVEN BY A CANDIDATE in the affidavit or any document submitted by that candidate is false may file a suit....." Clearly for this provision to be breached, the Candidate must have given the information alleged to be false. Dr. Ikpeazu gave none of the information contained in the tax receipts or certificate. ALL HE DID was write to BIR to issue him his tax papers. BIR on their own collected the info, did their assessment, issued the tax papers & signed it.

Thank you Honorable.....
Who Ever that read all u wrote and still have doubts should be sent back to Primary school.....
U just make it 100% Clear...
Okezie has no Much case...
But I thought that unlike Ameachi that the Constitution has been Amended?

wacoj:
Where is Mifavour or what is that her name that was asking me for the roads this able governor has done?
You haters should come and see o.

Una yeye past governors from Bende and Umuahia finished our treasury for 16 good years when the allocation was booming.
Now you want us to entrust this state to another man from same region (Isikwuato) in the name of Ogah. GOD FORBID!

Okezie Ikpeazu till 2023. Wailers can go hug transformer while Ogah should go look bush.

first I'm not an Abian so behave yourself
second prove that Okezie Ikpeazu has done anything reasonable..
Don't come here and talk anyhow...
Now you maybe one of these Ngwa people that don't live in Aba but you're talking based on what people said...


As much as I don't care who rules Abia state... I also don't wish for Okezie to be there cos he's not working... if you don't live in Aba then be careful what you say

I love it whenever they drag Ikpeazu to court, you will see a lot of road constructions only to be abandoned after court cases. Even if he survives this case, I also want another person to rise and sue him to court. Court cases makes the man construct road. PROPAGANDA.

What are you trying to prove? Personal Income Tax is total income of the civil servant based on the information he/she provided in tax returns sheet which includes his wages plus any other extra income from rent, sales of produce from agriculture, money from contracts executed etc hence the issue of 22 days doesn't arise. It is not limited to annual wage.

nwadiuko1:
if you don't know that civil servants have their taxes deducted @ source then.

Sorry to interrupt your argument. Dr Ikpeazu, as ASEPA deputy boss (or boss) was not a Civil servant and his tax couldn't have been deducted at source, I believe this to be the case.

sir if he was not a civil servant under Abia state environmental protection agency (aba zone) what was he a military servant? business man?, please tell me, I might learn one or two

Modified.
If Dr Ikpeazu was a Civil servant as you have claimed the issue of non payment of tax won't even have come up in the first place. Because as you rightly stated, it will be deducted at source.
All he would have done is to petition the relevant ministry or organization to provide his tax clearance receipts.

I think a commissioner is the head of a department followed maybe by the HOD and then perm second (I stand to be corrected) and ASEPA as it stands is under the ministry of environment...........Asepa staff pay their tax at the source just like any other civil servant ..........and I think ( might be wrong though) PUBLIC servants are people in the military, police airforce, the president, governors etc

A commissioner is the "political" head of the ministry. The Permanent Secretary is the actual career civil servant who heads the ministry. And can last longer on the seat more than any commissioner.
If Dr Ikpeazu was a career Civil servant and not appointed to head the ASEPA, believe me the issue of tax evasion would not have come up.
Please make your findings.

Actually that is what Okezie is claiming happened but the suspicion arises from the haste the document was compiled and reproduced coupled with mistakes on the said clearance certificate signifying certain exception to the rules.

Notwithstanding, I believe the document is not Okezie's business to defend rather the onus lies on the issuing State agency to either defend, set aside or disprove.

you are right about "political head" but even ministers and commissioners have their tax deducted @ source.......infact most public and private employers serve as agents to tax authorities..........its only business men who pay their tax by themselves

Political appointees are public servants same with non-government organized public sector workers.

Whether civil or public servant, the rules are the same because a worker is required by law to provide information on all accrue-able income and general liabilities to ascertain whether there should be tax refund on certain expenditures or extra deduction / payment based on PAYE tax formula.

MadamExcellency,
If I were asked to provide my tax clearance or show evidence of tax payment, all I have to do is to write my ministry and they will search out the relevant document for tax.
There is something that's actually not clear in this case. No lawyer will make the mistake of going to court over tax evasion when it concerns a Career civil servant.

Good for ABA,we don suffer wella

Charly68:
Abians should stop blaming their problem on Buhari, they must have offended God somehow ..their past leaders shop their allocations for years now the man that is ready to work for them was asked to go..! How does Buhari offend them in this matter..they must declare days for fasting & prayers for God to reverse their woes.. I pity this Governor but a spiritual mind knows that it is the people that has offended God.

I only wish does rejoicing knows what dis entails. Someone DAT has shown signs of seriousness in developing Aba n now, some idiots just don't want DAT. If u Abians lose did opportunity, then u r d pitiest of all d pitiest on earth!! Always backwards, HABA !!!!

My brother, I wouldn't know that, unless I question some past commissioner I know.
But, Ogah and his lawyers wouldn't be in court if they think there was no case. I just feel for Ikpeazu.

A Career civil servant with many other sources of income is a probable suspect on tax evasion/fraud.

Remember we are talking about compilation of three years evidence of tax payment required by law for a politician to be qualified to contest elective post.

From every indication, Dr Okezie was never prepared or anticipated for such office hence allowed his tax clearance certificate to accumulate which became cumbersome for Abia State Finance department (Board of Internal Revenue) to deliver within a shortest notification as to allow the Governor's boy a free pass to contest PDP primaries.

bro do you knw that it is actually a crime now for any government agency, public corporations, institutions, even hotels NOT to deduct their employee's tax from the source? talk more of state agencies like ASPIMAS and ASEPA...okezie ikpeazu tendered a tax clearance certificate from ASBIR....if there is any discrepancy, or irregularity I think the board of internal revenue and okezie's employers will be the ones to explain not Okezie

Actually, do not be fooled, these lawyers WILL allow their clients to go to court even if they feel their case wasn't strong. They will still be getting paid and that's their bread and butter. Look at all the cases that have gone to court in most of our Nigerian states. Lawyers will continue convincing their clients that lose elections to go after the ones that win because they know it's an emotional one and their clients will pay very well for the strong belief they will unseat their opponent. After all, it's still a business. Understand, Ogah doesn't have a strong case at all.

This same Uche Ogah just last week, was arraigned for fraud, forgery and conspiracy, I believe he has bigger fish to fry and what a case of pot calling kettle black
