VAT: Sanusi slams southern governors
Deposed Emir of Kano Sanusi Lamido Sanusi said he refrained from commenting on the VAT imbroglio between the southern governors and their northern counterparts, but he found time to slam those asking for collection yet holding on to the LGA funds.
Speaking on Arise TV on Friday, Sanusi said said the problem is not the VAT, but resources distribution.
“I’m a strong advocate of less money at the centre because this puts too much concentration on money from Abuja but the bulk of this Tax problem comes from not implementing what we have.
“These governors fighting for VAT are extremely undemocratic they hold on to money meant for the local government yet keeps complaining.
“The state governors complain what federal government do to them but don’t care about what they do to the local government, thereby ignoring the constitution.
“If we really want to put in for federalism we need to respect our constitution and do it at all tiers of government then I believe our constitution can work.
“Let’s make what we have work and we’ll see this constitution is not that bad.’
