The Committee for the Protection of Peoples Mandate (CPPM), an activist group, has demanded that the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) produce tax receipts belonging to Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a letter sent to the FIRS dated November 16, and signed by Nelson Ekujumi, the group’s national coordinator, Abubakar was accused of evading tax for several years.

The group said he only paid the backlog from 2015 to 2017 in order to meet up with the requirements of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to contest the presidential election.

CPPM alleged that Abubakar only used his 2017 tax receipt to fill the presidential nomination forms.

A copy of Abubakar’s tax clearance certificate showed that the PDP presidential candidate was issued the certificate on April 19, 2018, for payment of his personal income tax for 2015, 2016, and 2017.

A separate receipt was issued by the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCTIRS) for N4 million paid as tax for the year 2017.

The payment date captured on the receipt was April 12, 2018.

The group threatened to take the matter to court if the FIRS did not honour its request for the tax receipts, to prove whether Atiku paid his taxes at the right time or not.

“We are Nigerians committed to enthrone honesty and integrity in public office and the sustenance of true democracy,” the letter read.

“It is in this regard that we write to you under Section 1 (1) and (2) and Section 4(a) of the Freedom of Information Act to make available to us the 2015 and 2016 Personal Income Tax receipts of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 Presidential elections.

“Information at our disposal is that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar DID NOT PAY HIS Personal Income Tax for several years and only ran to the FIRS in April this year to pay the back-log of only his 2015 – 2017 taxes to meet up with the requirements of INEC. Hence, in filing his INEC forms, he only produced his receipt for 2017 tax which was paid in April, 2018.

“As someone who continuously says he is interested in getting Nigeria and its economy working again, it is important Nigerians know whether he has been paying his Personal Income Taxes AS AT WHEN DUE.

“Consequently, we request for his 2015 and 2016 Tax receipts to ascertain whether he paid his taxes AS AT WHEN DUE.

“TAKE NOTICE that you are to meet our demands within SEVEN (7) working days of the receipt of this letter.”

They seem not to know how Nigerian tax system operates.

1. FIRS is not in charge of Nigerian Personal Tax System.

2. Abuja IRS where Atiku appeared to have made Payments just got inaugurated In 2018. He cannot make tax payment to that agency prior to now.

Who is misleading who here? Oversabi! Your statement already admitted my clear factual points. Someone who paid taxes in 2018 will definitely not be issued Firs receipt. You also admitTed 'Until recently'. The politician paid in April 2018 & definitely cannot be within FIRS purview.

Go to the sexuality thread, will you?

Let Mr. Nelson Ekujimi show us his own tax returns and shame the devil

here in the US, 32% of my paycheck is deducted as tax.
Nigerian only need to pay 5%, If he still evades tax as low as 5%
but able to pay property tax for owning houses in the US

then I pity those poor and hungry jobless youths wasting their internet data on a world renowned thief whose corruption case is so daring, He got banned from seeing his properties in the USA.

Let Buhari show us his own. Oh, I forgot he doesn't have. His cows don't pay tax.

They just want to kill this man before his time.

no problem. if guilty, let him dance to the music. enough of rubbish. none of the politicians love us. Nigeria first

Knowledge is power, I thought you understood what you said but to my surprise, Shallowness is present. I am so sorry for you.

How can the self acclaimed "Nigeria's highest employer of labour' pay 4million as tax for a whole year(2017). While ordinary dangote pays in hundreds of billions currently used to build apapa roads. That's what saraki meant when he said atiku will open doors. Doors to flee due process, evade custom duties and taxes thereby taking us back to Egypt..

Rara sir, we don't want you sir, let the old man continue till 2023.
Ill rather vote a slow and unhealthy but trustworthy man than vote another treasury looters that 'open doors'.

Then you need to read the OP carefully. The Crux of the accusation being leveled at him is that he only paid his 2015 - 2017 tax in April 2018.

They have hard evidence that shows that the 2017 tax was paid in April 2018. What they want released is the payment details for the 2015 and 2016 tax so they can confirm he paid them as at when due.

They are now petitioning the FIRS - the agency responsible for collecting tax payments at that time - to release details on the payment schedule of his taxes.

Stop wasting words on them. They are ignorant.
