Senator Shehu Sani has reacted to the recent increment in Value Added Tax (VAT) by the President Muhammadu Buhari led federal government, Igbere TV reports.

Igbere TV had reported that President Buhari, in the last FEC meeting held on Wednesday, approved a two per cent increase in VAT to move it from the current five to seven per cent.

The Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, who made the disclosure, however, said the implementation will not take effect until the approval by the National Assembly.

Reacting to the development in a tweet sighted by Igbere TV on Saturday, the former Senator representing Kaduna Central, wrote;

“Peter is for VAT,Paul is for new Minimum wage.”

Igbere TV could deduce that the Kaduna born politician meant the President Buhari led administration was 'robbing Peter (masses) to pay Paul' (workers’).

there is nothing like they are robbery Peter to pay Paul bcuz Peter has not been paid or has FG started paying the new minimum wage, this is just pure foolishness from this government

What I dislike about this blogger is that when he was a Senator, the ONLY thing that made news about him as per constituency project was purchasing about TWENTY TRANSISTOR RADIOS for his people. But he is one of the loudest critic of the government.

I dont like such two faced hypocrites.

You are also being hypocritical for comparing an average citizen to a lawmaker who was duly allocated resources for the purpose of improving his people's welfare but failed terribly.

In all of this I pity civil servants the most. Because they are really suffering

He sounds defeated and jealous... How come he only found his theological voice after losing??
