 GOVERNMENT OF RIVERS STATE   PRESS STATEMENT  MY DECISION TO WITHDRAW FROM THE RIVERS  STATE  GUBERNATORIAL PRIMARIES  Fellow Rivers People, After deep reflection and extensive consultations with my family, friends, and associates, I have taken the difficult but necessary decision to withdraw from the APC gubernatorial primaries. I do so with a full heart and with a firm commitment to support whoever emerges as the candidate of our great party. Leadership is ultimately about sacrifice. There comes a time when personal ambition must yield to the greater good of the people. Rivers State is bigger than any individual, and at this critical moment, the peace, stability, and unity of our dear state must take precedence over every personal interest. To my supporters who stood firmly with me throughout this journey who gave their time, resources, prayers, and unwavering hope, I offer my deepest gratitude. I understand the disappointment, the anger, and the pa...

 Ilorin: Igbo traders shut shops as truce with Kwara Govt over tax payment collapses


The agreement reached between Igbo traders and the Kwara State government over controversial tax matters may have suffered a set back.


This is because residents of Ilorin, the state capital, woke up on Monday to notice that Igbo traders have shut their shops and businesses again, as they did recently when they protested alleged increment in taxes imposed by the Kwara state Internal Revenue Service, KWIRS.


The Chief of Staff to the Kwara State Governor, Mahe Abdulkadir, and Saadu Salaudeen, Senior Adviser/Counselor to Governor, had reportedly waded into the impasse between the two warring parties and resolved the contentious matter amicably.


However, contrary to expectations, the Igbo traders on Monday locked their shops and businesses across Ilorin, the state capital, to express their continued grievances on the matter.


A planned press conference called by the Igbo traders for Tuesday, by 11:30 am, to brief the public on the latest development, was also put off for unknown reasons.


Newsmen could not ascertain what led to the breakdown of the earlier reconciliation reached between the two parties.


However, sources at the state revenue service office on Ahmadu Bello Way, Ilorin, revealed that the agency had rejected ‘a central pool’ mode of tax payment advanced by the Igbo traders.


“The revenue service is insisting that all Igbo traders and business owners must pay their tax individually and not as a collective body of traders,” the sources added.


The Igbo traders had insisted that they prefer the collective mode of tax payment as a body, which the revenue service vehemently rejected.
