The Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP,Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has frowned over what he alleged as multiple taxation of the incumbent government on its people saying his government would patronize the tax payers to ensure equity if elected come September 10, 2016 guber- election.
Speaking while addressing the mammoth crowed that besiege the party’s rally at Ugoneki, Uhunmwode local government area Ize-Iyamu said that taxation is good but that the government should not impose multiple taxations on the people adding that the taxes should be humane.
He also lamented that it is abnormal for a government to source and patronize businesses for things ordinarily would have gone to a local business set in the state.
He said, “A situation where the APC government patronizes businesses outside Edo state for services that could be provided in Edo state, services like catering, entertainment, furniture and others is uncalled for. The company that supplies the food, catering and entertainment for the APC are all from outside Edo state. The company that supplies the furniture of schools and offices in Edo state are sourced from outside Edo state, despite the fact that Edo state has about the best furniture in Nigeria”.
However, he called on the people of Ugoneki to consider PDP as the only party with a clearer vision to liberate the agitations of good living in the state.
