“CONFUSION IN LAGOS MARKET AFTER SHOCKING DISCOVERY — TRADERS IN PANIC”Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, has warned President Bola Tinubu against imposing the 5% fuel tax his administration is allegedly clamouring for.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, sent to Legit.ng on Friday, September 12, Primate Ayodele stated that implementing the 5% fuel surcharge will affect the second term ambition chances of President Tinubu in the 2027 election.
The cleric stated that the policy will be misinterpreted and if care is not taken, will be treated like the fuel subsidy removal, which ‘will spike something unpleasant against the government’.
Primate Ayodele said: “Tinubu should look into the five percent fuel tax well, they will misinterpret it and will count as a minus for Tinubu’s second term ambition.”
He noted that opposition will use it to campaign against the president, adding that some governors will kick against it because “in the long run, the benefit will be one sided.”
Ayodele said:”They will use it to campaign against him. The policy will be one sided on the long run and some governors will kick against it”.
Furthermore, Primate Ayodele counselled President Tinubu to cut down on taxation policies due to the current economic situation, explaining that “it is getting too much”.“CONFUSION IN LAGOS MARKET AFTER SHOCKING DISCOVERY — TRADERS IN PANIC”
