Breaking! Tinubu Challenges FG; Says Revenue Formula is Cumbersome
Sep 5, 2020.





By Halimah Olamide

A leader of the All Progressive Congress of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said that the current revenue allocation formula of the Federal Government is too cumbersome.
He said the formula does not reflect the true essence of fiscal federalism that it should be.


The revenue formula has to be consistent with the physical federalism of Nigeria. These were his words when he spoke at the inuaguration of the Ondo State Internal Revenue Service Office in Akure on Saturday.
Tinubu, who also spoke on the South-West security Network is in Ondo as part of efforts to shore up support for the governorship candidate of the party in the state, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu.
Tinubu said the fact that he belongs to the APC does not stop him from asking pertinent questions if they are to make things better in Nigeria.
“The revenue formula has to be consistent with the fiscal federalism of Nigeria. You can reform the reformables that are federal bottlenecks today. You can question, you can query.
"What element of stamp duty is that of federal allocation and what elements of the transactions that belong to the states and why are we involved in what should be the residual matters of the states? Why the encroachments?
"Even in the same family of twins, they do argue. They do ask questions. We wont stop to ask questions. We won’t stop to ask for the right thing for the Federal Republic of Nigeria."



On the special security outfit in the South-West, Tinubu said the network is a child of necessity saying if all are properly employed, there would be no need for Amotekun,
"I pray that you don’t need Amotekun really. Amotekun is a creation of necessity. If all are engaged, Amotekun would be a pet." he said

He said the coming election is not about Akeredolu. "It is about the future of this country," he added.

Good to hear. A lot of things to question and I hope he can remember all.

How come the fuel Buhari met at N86.5 became N162?

How come dollar exchange Buhari met at N200 is now N450

How come the high inflation?

Where are the recovered loots?

Where are money raised from stamp duties?

Where are money recovered from Abacha loots?

Where are COVID 19 funds?

Where are the Chinese loans?

Where are the money recovered from custom duties?

Tinubu and any other APC leader questioning is coming late. Country don dabaru already. I don't even know what to say. To hell with PDP and APC.

I hope Nigerians can just retaliate by voting out APC from all states. Starting from Edo and Ondo

These South Easterners are something else. They want the presidency in 2023 out of pity or by force and at d same time want seccession. Their double standard lives is something else.They hate everybody and they are d ones that won't stay in their own land, scatter all over the country like a virus but will never speak well of their hosts. Continue to hate Tinubu because his a frontliner for 2023, we shall see.

Good!

This is what I have been expecting from Jagaban!

No be to just dey wait for 2023.


Buhari is killing that party so they have to act!

His popularity in the north is gradually fading away.

I don't know who's advising Buhari... But something is serious wrong somewhere.

I'm highly disappointed in this government. Highly highly disappointed.

i heard from a good source that some people have been mobilized to de market Buhari online (not hard at all) and promote ElRufai against 2023. I just hope you’re not among those making that mistake cool

Stupidity is when northerners speak for PMB/APC you call it religious and ethnic bigotry.

When they speak against his government you start calling it some kind of conspiracy.

If we want to campaign for Elrufai we will do it chest up!

Maybe you still don't know northerners... We are not chameleons.
We are straight forward.

Elrufai already had made it clear that he is not interested in presidency that it should go to the south.

Where is this your conspiracy theory coming from?

It shows that you people are not even after the sufferings Nigerians are passing through at this critical time.
Your eyes is only on the presidency... This is pathetic!

You don't love Buhari more than we do.
But the truth is that he is failing his own people.

Buhari should sit up even Tinubu is speaking up because he knows that the north is angry!

If Buhari is doing well... Nobody in the north will dare criticize him!

Buhari is the only man that can pave way for any southerner in the north.

Go and check northern political history... We play straight politics and we are politically united

Didn't we vote Abiola and reject our own Bashir tofa? Bashir tofa even lost his home town to Abiola. What of Obasanjo?

That's northerners for you!

Now you are accusing us of conspiracy? That we are criticizing Buhari because we want to bring in Elrufai.


We don't play that kind of politics here!

Parsonally I prefer Osibanjo cos I believe in his intellectual capacity.
