I won’t burden Edo with taxes – Obaseki

The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has assured the people of the state that his envisaged administration will introduce a tax regime that is pocket-friendly. In a press release issued by the Godwin Obaseki Campaign Organisation in Benin, the Edo State capital, On Wednesday, the governorship candidate noted that it was important to enhance the internally generated revenue base of the state, even as he vowed not to yoke the people with unbearable taxes. “Bearing in mind our economic development initiatives which we will commence immediately upon assuming office and recognising the role of taxation in development, we will implement a pocket-friendly regime to grow the tax base,” he stressed. Obaseki noted that as a financial expert with international recognition, he was best suited to govern Edo State.
