On 6th August 2013, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Screening Committee issued a provisional Clearance Certificate to Mr Tony Nwoye, who is currently the PDP recognised flag-bearer in the forthcoming Anambra governorship election. On the certificate, a copy of which was made available to elombah.com, it was clearly stated that Tony was not cleared to contest the election on the platform of the party. The reason as stated in the certificate was “irregular Tax Clearance Certificates” By Tony Nwoye, PDP Guber Aspirant.

The second reason as stated was “Tax Clearance not backed with receipts. The Committee then told Mr Nwoye: "Accept our regrets".

What did he screening panel see in the tax clearance certificate?

Mr Tony Nwoye Presented 3 Different Tax Certificates For the Period Spanning 2008 To 2013 Of Which Each Had Contradictory Data.

The Tax Certificates Are as follows:

June 14, 2011 Issued By Enugu State Government no. 000099753

June 19, 2012 Issued By Anambra State Government No. 109985

July 25, 2013 Issued By Federal Inland Revenue Service, Abuja No. 05198093

On The Tax Certificate Issued By Enugu State Government, Tony claims to have been issued a tax receipt for his 2009 tax paid on September 19, 2009. This is false because this date was a Saturday (non-working day)

Moreover, the said certificate is claimed to have been issued on June 14, 2011 and the tax for 2011 paid on same date, June 14, 2011. If this is assumed to be true, which tax certificate did Mr tony nwoye present to PDP and INEC in the run up to the April 2011 national assembly elections in which he participated? Could he have paid his 2011 tax after the elections had taken place and his colleagues sworn into office?

In the other tax certificate issued by Anambra state government, he claims that his source of income is medical practice. Unless tony Nwoye is a quack doctor, this is a criminal offence. Tony nwoye is not a graduate talk less of being a medical doctor.

Mr Tony Nwoye was a former Medical student at the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus (UNEC). He dropped out in year three. Available information is that he was rusticated by the school authorities for cult activities. Mr Nwoye is a member of the notorious student cult organization.

However, another source told elombah.com "Comrade Tony Nwoye is not a graduate. He dropped out from Medical school in UNEC after failing first MB three times".

Upon being sent packing from UNEC, he ran to the College of Medicine, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki to continue his quest for medical studies.

Tony Nwoye should be in the best position to inform all why he withdrew. Was it for personal reasons, or did he fail his 2nd/3rd MB or was he involved in school cultism?

A careful look at the 2012 and 2013 tax certificates will reveal that the taxes were not paid as at when due.

Elombah.com learnt during the screening process, Tony failed to produce his original tax receipts to the screening committee sitting at PDP National Secretariat, Zone 5, Abuja. He rather produced a scanned copy on the pretext that the originals are in Anambra state. Concerned observers say those original tax receipts should be demanded and verified.

Part IV 14(a) of the PDP guidelines states clearly that an aspirant shall not be qualified to be nominated or contest if he fails to have paid tax for the preceding three years as at when due.

While part IV 15(2) of the same guidelines states that any aspirant who gives false information shall be disqualified.

Tony was initially not cleared because of "irregular tax clearance certificates" and "Tax clearance not backed with Tax receipts", and yet the appeal panel headed by Alhaji Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi , went ahead to clear him. Shinkafi the is Chairman, PDP Screening Appeals Committee.

The question to be asked is: How did an aspirant that was disqualified by the screening committee eventually emerge the winner of the PDP primary, barely 2 weeks later?

Accusation fingers are pointed towards Prince Arthur Eze and his attempt to foist a candidate of his choice on Anambrarians by any means.

The rumour is that Tony Nwoye who was hitherto not cleared by the PDP screening committee, was cleared by the appeal panel after his godfather, Arthur 1000 had parted with 100 million naira.

In the concocted primary last Saturday where money was let loose on delegates with thugs and intimidation, elombah.com learnt Arthur Eze gave each delegate that voted N200,000 to vote for Tony Nwoye.

Tony was never involved in any cult activity while in school. Try something else. That won’t stick.

PDP should stop all these nonsense again, I thought PDP has learnt from their mistake of 2015, instead to tell Nigerians their manifesto then, they started hated and propaganda campaign against PMB that made them to fail.

Op is confused and misguided. Tony Nwoye was a former NANS president and a henchman from Unizik. A confirmed cultist
