It is Another Instrument Of Oppression – Obidient Movement Kicks Against 5% Fuel Surcharge.
The Obidient Movement has warned the Federal Government that the proposed five per cent surcharge on fuel would impoverish Nigerians further.
Protest: Don't Think Nothing Can Happen To You, Help The People Before It's Too Late - Yunusa Tells Tinubu
The warning comes after the Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, announced that the levy is part of Tinubu’s tax reform agenda aimed at improving road infrastructure and reducing logistics costs.
Speaking via a statement on Tuesday signed by its National Coordinator, Yunusa Tanko, the group applauded the policy, but argued that it was destined for misery.
Tanko said successive governments had repeatedly promised that new levies would transform infrastructure, yet little had been delivered.
“For decades, Nigerians have been fed the same promises: new levies will ‘fix our roads,’ ‘power our hospitals,’ and ‘transform our economy.’ Instead, trillions vanish into the pockets of corrupt elites while our highways crumble, transport costs skyrocket, and ordinary Nigerians are pushed deeper into poverty,” the statement read.
