Buhari never liked Yaradua so even in death the tyrant wants to punish Yaradua

GamalNasser:

That's not correct.

Yaradua is dead. So those who manage the property ought to pay tax to the Government since it is a private property.

Besides, the property was definitely built with government money and the land allocated free to it.

This is APC and PDP matter. If you don't belong to any of the two, keep off. APC is PDP, and PDP is APC. No be me them go use settle. Our politicians are all one with a common agenda, to milk us and the country dry. But their failure is imminent.

Obasanjos library is not safe after he's gone........ Same faith will befall it

GamalNasser:

You should have filed an Affidavit to Show Cause if you have issue with the tax accessment. That is what is required of the Centre.

It may have been built by Donations as you claim but as a Nigerian, I ask, Who are the Donors and What are their Source of Livelihood?

God bless Buhari
The man that fears nobody

That's the end of that beautiful Centre.........

Visited there 2010...place filled with yar adua's pictures

whose pictures did you expect to see there? A wasted venture, how many events will they hold there in a year? How much money can they really gross per year?

Some don't even know the yaradua in question this yaradua is not the late president

That place is museum media gallery but I'm wondering what is generating as revenue that government has to seize it
