Iyabo Ojo, a Nollywood actress, has claimed that the Lagos State Government’s increase in her tax revenue is an attempt to witchhunt her after she supported Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi.
According to Blinkscoop News, the actress revealed this during an Instagram live session with fans while displaying proof of her tax payments.
According to Iyabo, a close friend informed her of the outrageous tax, claiming it was imposed because of her support for Peter Obi during the previous presidential election.
The actress stated that she has the right to support anyone and is not interested in stomach infrastructure, as many of her colleagues are.
Iyabo Ojo also claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) camped out some Nollywood stars during the election and told them to boycott all of her events.
The social media influencer went on to say that she would call out the names of her colleagues when the time came.
In her words: “As an influencer and actress, how do they come up with these outrageous amounts, I’m not saying am not going to pay but the amount is too much. Someone very close to me told me that he heard about the increase in tax two weeks ago because he is within the caucus and na because you support Peter Obi and I don’t care.
“I will support whoever I want to support because it is my right to do so. I’m not fighting anybody and I don’t have issues with anybody. When I said I have empathy for my country and not for stomach infrastructure, I know what I’m saying and I said that because I have heard a lot of rubbish from some of my so-called colleagues, who camped in one place to do an election and they came up with the decision that they should boycott me and not come for my events.
“I’m not ready to mention names now and a time will come when I will do that or give them publicity. For those saying I don’t pay tax, you can come to my office and check my receipts.”
