The attention of the All Progressive Congress (APC) New Media Forum, kaduna state chapter has been drawn to a frivolous, mischievous, false and highly embarrassing fake and misleading video making the rounds on social media, which shared by PDP and Isa Ashiru Kudan supporters  showing that INEC’s officials were caught thump printing ballot papers in other to favour APC and Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna state in the election tribunal seating in Kaduna, are false and fabricated by influencers on social media.

It’s unfortunate, that the unscrupulous politicians has gone ahead with fake, misleading video and posted on social media. 

 The APC (NEW MEDIA FORUM) hereby refutes this video that has been viral in Social media as frivolous, mischievous and totally false.

Social media in Nigeria has been a major source of disinformation and misinformation.

One disinformation trend was the sharing of videos purporting to show ballot-stuffing by INEC’s officials in Kaduna recently.

They could not establish where the videos were recorded.

 We all know that the ballots shown in at least one of these viral videos were not real.

The APC NEW MEDIA FORUM Kaduna state chapter, hereby advised the general public to disregard this virulent false, fake, embarrassing and misleading video.

It’s the work of mischief makers, detractors and enemies of the APC and kaduna state, they must realize that their campaign of calumny against Senator Uba Sani the executive Governor of Kaduna state has failed.  

APC and Governor Uba Sani’s administration will remains a spectacular success story and nothing can change all the evidence of dramatic progress and development of our great party in the past and present.

The presidency announced on Friday, July 7, 2023 that the committee will figure out a framework to implement the government’s vision of a healthy and competitive business environment in Nigeria.

The committee will be responsible for the various aspects of tax law reform, fiscal policy design and coordination, harmonisation of taxes, and revenue administration.

The presidential aide further noted that current key challenges include multiple taxes and revenue collection agencies, fragmented and complex tax system, low tax morale, high prevalence of tax evasion, high cost of revenue administration, lack of coordination between fiscal and economic policies, and poor accountability in the utilisation of tax revenue.

“While some incremental progress has been recorded over the years, the outcomes have not been transformative enough to change the narrative,” he said.

Adedeji said the committee’s work will help the government in its goal to achieve a minimum of 18% tax-to-GDP ratio within the next three years.

The members of the committee will be drawn from both the public and private sectors and chaired by Oyedele, an accomplished Fiscal Policy Partner and Africa Tax Leader at PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

Friday’s appointment was announced less than a day after President Tinubu signed four executive orders focused on taxation policies in the country.
