In her post, the actress voiced her concerns directly to Governor Sanwo-Olu and the Lagos State government, demanding an explanation for the hefty tax bill.

 

 

 

She questioned the basis for such high personal income taxes and criticized the lack of transparency in the calculation process.

 

The actress referred to a previous encounter where she complied with the government’s request to explain her earnings and declare her income but received no response.

 

“Last time, you people asked me to come to your office, I came, you asked me to explain & declare what I earn, which I did with my tax consultant, but noooooooooooooo you did not respond to my letter, because you want me to pay you an outrageous amount that I do not have,” she expressed in her Instagram caption.

 

Feeling overwhelmed by the mounting financial burden imposed on her, the mother of two raised concerns about the government’s insensitivity to the challenges faced by individuals and businesses.

She questioned the contributions of the government to her life, stating, “What have you people ever done for me as a government? NOTHING!!! I have single-handedly raised my kids & so many others, plus myself without a single penny from the government.”

The camp of Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa has described as fallacy the stories on some media that Former Governor Rauf Aregbesola loyalists and former Governor Olusegun Mimiko are the ones working to make Ayedatiwa win the ticket of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the upcoming primaries election in Ondo State. The question is how does Aregbesola become a factor in the primary election in Ondo State?

Even though former Governor Rauf Aregbesola is a respected member of the APC and an ally of the President of the Federal Republic, Bola Ahmed Tinubu he is not from Ondo State and would not be voting at the primaries and the governorship elections. The people described as his loyalists supporting Ayedatiwa are members of APC and like any other indigene of Ondo State have the right to support any candidate of their choice. That they have chosen to support Ayedatiwa who has been garnering an unprecedented support from all and sundry is a welcome development.

 

 

 

On the fathom role of former Governor Mimiko, it should be seen as a mere distraction. Mimiko is not a member of APC and does not have a say in the affairs of the party. Is it the Mimiko whose party has been roundly defeated twice by the APC candidate in his base, Ondo East/West Constituency by Honorable Abiola Makinde that would now determine the fate of Governor Ayedatiwa in the APC?

The writers of the stories are just on a wild goose chase and have made a very poor effort to portray Ayedatiwa as fraternising with the perceived enemies of the President. Let it be known that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has no enemy in Aregbesola, any member of APC or Nigerian for that matter. He is the father of the nation and a committed democrat.

It is obvious that Governor Ayedatiwa has become the real deal in Ondo politics and has been enjoying overwhelming support from people within the APC and outside of the party which portends what the future holds – victory at the polls. All well meaning Ondo state people are welcome to give him all the support he needs to make Ondo state better and greater. The people should not allow themselves to be hoodwinked by mischief makers and merchants of vices in their bid to score cheap political points.
