Tinubu taxing dying Nigerians - Amaechi

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, on Friday accused President Bola Tinubu of taxing dying Nigerians.

Amaechi accused Tinubu of increasing the minimum wage of workers to N70,000 while collecting it through multiple taxation.

In an interview with News Central TV, the former governor of Rivers State said he would be shocked if Nigerians vote for Tinubu in 2027.

According to Amaechi: "President increases your wages to N70,000 and takes it away through the back from the numerous taxes he has introduced, not just one. So you are taxing dying men, Nigerians are dying.

"You need to first of all put enough money in their hands, I'm told by my team that N70,000 will buy 50 liters of fuel, please tell me where 50 liters can take you to, Ibadan?

"I will be surprised and shocked if you vote for Tinubu. In this battle if you are neutral, you are on the side of Tinubu."
