Governor David Umahi, the governor of Ebonyi state has perfected and imposed his terrible tax system which we (Viewers corner) regard as very harsh and oppressive towards the people of Ebonyi state, most especially now that the economic hardship is hitting the people in the country (Nigeria). Again despite the one hundred Naira passenger’s tax and other taxes his government collects at the various motor parks in the state (Ebonyi state), governor David Umahi’s government has also asked all the mass transit companies operating in the state to pay a huge sum of three million Naira (3 million Naira) each as tax every year. How in God’s name can they afford this huge sum of money? Even if they do, the tax burden would be transferred to the passengers which would make them to increase transport fares taken into consideration the economic hardship in the country (Nigeria).
Recently, Governor David Umahi’s government sealed the business premises of these mass transits in the state because they refused to pay the exorbitant three million Naira and leaving the only state owned transport company called Ebotrans to operate. Ebotrans (beautiful name but under funded), their buses can not drive a long distance without breaking down on the road and the government has neglected the transport corporation by refusing to invest money or purchase new buses. Our (Viewers corner) findings in Ebonyi state has shown that governor David Umahi is the worst leader that has ever governed the state therefore the people of Ebonyi state should never give him another opportunity of coming back in 2019 as a governor because he is a bad news and has failed completely as a leader to govern the state properly.
