Don’t mind them let them keep on deceiving theirselves, oil money runs Nigeria, nothing like VAT, if the SW is truely churning out this money as they always claim, is in their hands to regionalise Nigeria into Autonomous regions which the SE is fighting for years now. They keep on hidden and dishing out fake data.

States like Oyo deserves to keep 20% of what they generate. States generating VATs are not going to be taken care of in the new sharing formula

If oil producing states are getting 13% states that are generating VATs also deserve at least 13%.

Oyo and Lagos state lawmakers messed up jawe.

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers says the state is not fighting the Federal Government or any of its agencies over the collection of Value Added Tax as being insinuated in some quarters.

Speaking on Sunday in Abuja at a public lecture entitled, “Taxing Powers in a Federal System”, to mark the 60th birthday of Mr Ahmed Raji, (SAN) Wike said that the state was only trying to pursue what was right and legitimate within the ambits of the constitution.

The governor, who represented by the Attorney-General of the State, Mr Zacchaeus Adangor (SAN), maintained that Rivers and the Federal Government were co-equal because they both derived their life from the constitution.

“I have heard a lot of comments being made that we are fighting the Federal Government, there is no desire or any intention of the Rivers government to fight the Federal Government.

“The principle of co-equality is fundamental to a federal arrangement, that principle leads to the principle of autonomy, autonomy leads to physical autonomy and physical autonomy leads to physical federalism and when you put all the principles together, what it means is that each level of government, whether federal or state is co-equal because none derives its life from the other.

“They both derive their life from the constitution because they have co-equality.

“That is the fundamental aspect of physical federalism and until we get it, we will continue this journey of talking without result but I think that the court has a role to play, the court can lay this crisis and controversy to rest when it makes a pronouncement.”

Also speaking at the event, Prof. Abiola Sani appealed to the judiciary to make a definite and definitive pronouncement on the impasse surrounding tax collection in Nigeria’s federal system.

Sani, a professor of commercial law who was the guest lecturer at the occasion called on the National Assembly to use the ongoing constitution amendment to bring out clear taxing powers among the three tiers of government.

Yet no reflection on the lives of the citizens lol

lexy2014:
how has he played his Cards well to improve the living standards of the people of oyo state?

Redoil:
what is the population those region compared to Lagos or Oyo
let the blackmailing by the agbado urchins start.

Ttalk:
The living standard of Oyo people cant improve until the leeches SE states wake up and start generating VAT into the Federation cover.

onuman:
The SW ask for regional government but without resource control. They want to sustain the SW with cash from crude oil and gas in the SS and SE but have autonomy for the SW. Ridiculous set.

During Obasanjo administration's National Political Reforms Conference in 2005, the SW Conferees teamed up with the Northern Conferees to reject the minimal percentage increase in derivation from oil propised by Conferees from the SS and the SE. The Conference ended abruptly because of that.

ProudlyLagos:
the reflection is the reason why you have to desert your barren region for a more economically viable oyo state because they have greater purchasing power than the citizens of your acclaimed billionaire region numbers don’t lie nwokem, even the pattern of migration from east to west as proven that

BrokenTV:
If you have sense you will also know that those people you are referring to also contribute vats that are generated in those Southwest States.

omenka:
Haven't mentioned any names, yet a particular group believe I'm refering to them. They're probably right.

MartinCorridon:
Tinubu should just designate some places for us to dump our PuPu.

E.g all the erosion red mud areas.

Too many zones parasitic on SW

If SW is serious let’s regionalise Nigeria into autonomous regions and see which region will do better. Stop hiding under current Nigeria scheme to carry shoulder up where SW collect VAT consumed in other states.

You forgot that during regionalism, SW was even way, way over the SE?
Yorubas have always been some of the most industrious people in the world.
