So you are wrong, it does affect it.

Former Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, has been summoned to court over alleged failure to pay his mandatory Personal Income Tax for 2023 and 2024, as well as underpayment of taxes in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

A criminal summons, dated August 21, 2025, was issued by a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Magistrate Court, requiring Melaye to appear before the Magistrate Court at Wuse Zone II, Abuja, on September 5, 2025.

According to the FCT Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Melaye only paid N85,000.08 in 2019, N100,000.08 in 2020, N120,000 in 2021, and N1,000,000 in 2022, despite declaring much higher annual incomes.

It revealed that for instance, in 2022, he declared an annual income of over N6.5 million.

It was revealed that an administrative assessment for 2023 and 2024 was issued on May 23, 2025, but when Melaye failed to respond within 30 days, a notice of best judgment assessment was issued on June 23, 2025.

DAILY POST reports that attempts to deliver the notice personally or to his representative were unsuccessful, prompting the IRS to paste it on the gate of his residence in Maitama, Abuja, on July 9, 2025.

The notice outlined that Melaye’s total tax liabilities for 2023 and 2024 were assessed at N234,896,000.00 and N274,712,000.00, respectively.

The notice read; “Despite reminders and ample time provided, your non-compliance with Section 41 of the Act constitutes a breach of your obligations. Consequently, the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS) has, in accordance with Section 54(3) of the Personal Income tax act, proceeded to raise a Best of Judgment Assessment in respect of your tax liabilities for the years under review.

“Accordingly, your tax liability has been assessed in the sum of N234,896,000.00 and N274,712,000.00 for the period of 2023 and 2024 respectively. The computation and assessment are attached for your action. Please note that the Service has also identified income under declaration and under payment for the 2020, 2021 and 2022 years of assessment, during which payment of N1,000,000.00, N120,000.00 and N100,000.00 were made respectively. Notices of additional will be issued, upon conclusion of our review.

“Your are hereby informed that you have the right to object to this assessment within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of this notice. Any objection must clearly state the grounds of your objection and be substantiated with relevant supporting documents.

“Failure to make payment or file objection within the stipulated period will result in the assessment being deemed final and conclusive, and recovery proceedings will be initiated without further notice,” the FCT IRS stated

Melaye, a former member of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, also served as chairman of the Senate Committee on FCT and briefly chaired the Senate Committee on Aviation.

He was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the November 11, 2023, Kogi State governorship election.

A member of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Ibraheem Shittu, has declared that he was not part of the lawmakers who approved a loan of three hundred billion naira for Governor Seyi Makinde.

Shittu, who represents Saki West state constituency, made this known in a statement posted on his Facebook page.

The statement, obtained by DAILY POST on Wednesday evening, noted that the House is currently on a six-week recess.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, lawmaker wrote: “I want it to be in record that I, Hon Shittu Ibraheem, representing Saki West state constituency in Oyo State House of Assembly, I’m not among other lawmakers who approved a loan of 300 billion naira on 19th August 2025 and perfected on 26th of August 2025 in an emergency sitting during our 6-week recess.

“The House is currently on a 6-week recess from July 31st to September 16th, 2025. But an emergency plenary session was arranged to approve such a loan without communicating it to all members.

“Loan at this time when all states have more than enough. Oyo State now receives about a 500% increase in FAAC. Why take this loan? Why is the loan an emergency and why was the sitting not communicated to all the honourable members?
