Gov. Umahi Disagrees With Southern Governors, Insists Federal Government Should Collect VAT

By Wisdom Nwedene

Governor David Nweze Umahi of Ebonyi State has disagreed with Southern Governors on the issue of Value Added Tax.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television monitored by IGBERE TV, Umahi said the Federal Government should be allowed to collect VAT and share to States.

Umahi stated that Ebonyi State should be pitied because the mineral resources in the state are being stolen. He pleaded that other states should be their Brother's keeper.

IGBERE TV had reported that Southern Nigeria Governors declared their support for States to collect Valued Added Tax (Tax) instead of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS.

In a communique issued after their meeting in Enugu State on Thursday, the Southern Governors reaffirmed its earlier commitment to fiscal federalism as resolved at the inaugural meeting of the Forum held on Tuesday, 11th May 2021 at Asaba, Delta State and emphasized the need for the Southern States to leverage the legislative competence of their respective State Houses of Assembly as well as representation in the National assembly to pursue its inclusion in the Nigerian Constitution through the ongoing constitutional amendment.

The Southern Governors further said the meeting resolved to support the position that the collection of VAT falls within the powers of the States.

All this buhari toys play eh

Tueeeeh

People should stop giving this foolish man attention. His irresponsibility is now a serious cause for concern to sane minds.

He may have tried in the area of infrastructure but that doesn't mean we have to contend with his gross stupidity and madness.

On behalf of all Igbos, we totally reject this man and his supreme Court puppet colleague, whatever their sycophantic nature stands for is strictly their own view and the good people of Ebonyi and Imo States have no part in it.

They're efulefus raise to power 100.

Anyways I'm waiting for Wike to come and put this shameless sycophant in his place.

Reliable data shows that Ebonyi State generates more IGR than many states, including those that are not averse to VAT, so his reason for being against VAT earnings going to state has nothing to do with Ebonyi State but rather his disgusting ass licking nature. He just wants to always show his masters in Abuja that he is 100% loyal to them no matter what.

This shameless man won't mind going against the interest of his state and region if only it will prove his loyalty to his masters.

If he continues in this show of shame, he will risk losing any good reputation he has left.

He can't continue undermining and sabotaging our interests because of selfish reasons.

As a governor and you know that some criminal are stealing your mineral resources and you keep quiet oh I think is your Fulani terrorist master are stealing your resources that is why you don't want to offend them.
Mr nise man if you want federal government to collect tax for your State no problem but dose who want to collect thire tax should do so .

Mr governor if you think they will make you president you most be dreaming

Umahi

Bad days for ipob .
Pls hug an ipob rodent close to u and remove any sniper around

When j read news like this I am ashamed to be an Igbo man.

senseless fulani slave

all southeast governors deserve to be shot dead

Smh

Stupid man, foolish man, werey man....

These are one of the governor who don't have any meaningful contribution rather than waiting for other state to generate revenue with their God given talent and then collect it from them....

Your mate are constantly looking inward and finding lasting solution on how to bring in more investors and generate their own revenue, oloriburuku man is waiting to eat where he didn't sow...

God go punish

Umahi is becoming annoying with this sycophancy.

Igbos are cowardly traitors.
Know this and know peace.

Ebonyi State, now the new Gombe State? On 1 Nigeria we stand.

When a governor says his state should be pitied and other states should be their brother's keeper what he is indirectly saying is

I am a liability to my state and I cannot think of how to generate income and be self sufficient

I have no reason to still be leading because a leader should be proactive and be a problem solver

Ask yourself how many people from the North would take sides against their own to further an agenda that is pro south

Another southern Judas all dis just to pleased buhari and his fulanis folks.

For every 12, there's a Judas.

Dave Umahi is a fulani pet dog, we were not expecting him to disobey his masters

You can say that again...

That one is a cvrsed dog, just like Uzodinjo. He will definitely meet a brutal end and other people will share, eat and mismanage all the blood money he is amassing.

Afonja of Igbo land. See how this man is being manipulated by the Fulanis.

Why is this man so foolis!?
What did the fulani promise him?
In the game of life, anyone that sells out his brother can't be trusted by the buyer.
I just hope south easterner show him no mercy in the coming election(if this is his first tenure)

All because of vice president slot right?

Vice president no be dis one our son pastor be ?

Does he have any constitutional portfolio?

He mortgaged the life of Ebonyi people taking a loan from the Islamic bank with the condition of giving land for Ruga in Ebonyi State.

Slave!
You'll still not be given the APC ticket.

What a Southern Judas Iscariot.
He will one day cry with that supreme Court Gomina.
Beast of no nation
