Peoples Democratic Party, PDP screening committee for the
Anambra state primaries for the November 16 election at its first sitting
disqualified the Mr Tony Nwoye , who emerged the candidate of a faction of the
party in the state. It has been revealed
that the basis of Nwoye’s disqualification is based mainly on issues that have
to do with his tax records.
According to sources, Mr. Nwoye allegedly got a fake tax
clearance certificate, which he presented to the committee. He presented 3
different tax certificates for period spanning 2008 to 2013, and each had
contradictory data. The tax certificates are dated; June 14, 2011 issued by Enugu
state government no. 000099753, June 19, 2012 issued by Anambra state
government no. 109985, July 25, 2013 issued by Federal Inland Revenue service,
Abuja no. 05198093
The tax certificate issued by Enugu state goverment, which he
claims to have been issued a tax receipt for his 2009 tax paid on September 19,
2009 is fake as this date was a Saturday (non working day)
It was revealed that the certificate claimed to have been
issued on June 14, 2011 and the tax for 2011 paid on same date, June 14, 2011.
If this is assumed to be true, which tax certificate did Mr Nwoye present to
PDP & INEC in the run up to the April 2011 National Assembly elections in
which he participated? Could he have paid his 2011 tax after the elections had
taken place & his colleagues sworn into office?
The 2012 and 2013 tax certificates shall revealed that the
taxes were not paid as at when due.
