Governorship candidate of Young Progressives Party (YPP), Sir Paul Chukwuma, has assured that as the governor of Anambra State, he would eschew crude means of collecting taxes.
Chukwuma stated this during a campaign tour to Mgbakwu in Awka North Local Government Area of the state.
He assured that as governor, he would limit himself within the rules of governance and ensure that he governs according to the law.
The candidate made mockery of the crude means of collecting taxes in Anambra under the current administration, saying that an agency of government known and Ndi Aka Odo now uses pestles to beat up persons in order to compel them to pay taxes.
He said: “Under my watch, Anambra will eschew all crude means of coercing taxpayers, which are of no effect in Anambra’s internally generated revenue profile.
“Anambra has a credible alternative in me. We have a commitment to turn Anambra around and bring prosperity to the state again.”
Speaking with journalists, Chukwuma said: “The Joy Campaign Trail arrived Mgbakwu, Awka North LGA, amidst exciting reception by the people of Awka North. Anambra will vote massively for YPP on November 8.”
