Fashola, all over the world you only toll new roads. You do
not collect taxes from people to build roads and ask them to
pay to use the roads.
I have no problem with you tolling your new or yet to be
commenced Calabar Funtua road as soon as you complete
it, but tolling Lagos-Ibadan-Ore-Onitsha-PortHarcourt road
built by Oyinbo is not tainable. Why must the people always
"pay a little"? When is government going to be taking
responsibility for herself? For example, the Lagos-Ibadan-
Ore-Beni-Asaba-Onitsha-etc is a trans-Africa road
(Mombasa-Lagos-Highway), running all the way from
Dakar in Senegal to Mombassa in Kenya, where else do
you have tolls other than Nigeria
I send my children to private school, because government
schools have no quality teachers.
I provide my electricty because, as governor for 8 years you
could not give light to your state, rather blaming FG
,I sank my borehole because as governor for 8 years, you
could not supply portable water to the state
I excavated the gutter on my street because you could not
build street roads nor provide drainage
I pay monthly fee for refuse collection, a duty that is
generally a government responsibility world-over
I pave my street road because for 8 years as governor you
did not care, rather planting flowers at my round about
I pay private security guard on my street because as
governor for 8 years you could not provide security
I paid 27% of my salary to Lagos State as tax, yet I got no
correct tax clearance certificate for same amount because
one "Alpha-Beta" is in charge of the process
I pay toll on Lekki road because my governor concessioned
the service to his friends and bond me in for 15 years
without option
I pay 5% VAT on all my purchases, yet government cannot
tell me what they are doing with the money
Now you want to charge me toll for passing the road built
with my taxes, years before you ever thought of going into
government. What have you done with all my annual vehicle
licence fee, MOT fee, advert fees, radio fees, road
worthiness, etc?
PLEASE, OGA FASHOLA, GO BUILD NEW ROADS AND TOLL
THEM, LEAVE THE ONES BUILT BY COLONIAL MASTERS!!!
IF YOU CANNOT MANAGE THE OFFICES BUHARI HAS
SADDLED YOU WITH, KINDLY RESIGN. IT IS NOT BY FORCE
TO BE MINISTER.
