 The Inter-Party Advisory Council, IPAC, has raised alert over alleged email state governments in position of 55 million Naira on opposition political parties and their candidates before carrying out any political campaigns in the state. Speaking in Norway, IPAC chairman Anthony Achaneko says there is nowhere in the world where a government in power imposes such heavy tax on opposition political parties and their candidates before allowing them to campaign. Anthony says if the government continues with the taxation plan, all the opposition parties will have no other choice than to approach the court. This is what they call the permit fee. Look at it here, look at it, look at the figure, the figure is 54 million Naira plus other sundry charges plus other sundry charges and again lastly they said that they reserve after paying all these 54.7 million that the agency reserve their rights to ask you to do or not. Very obnoxious. We haven't seen this kind of thing before. It has never existed anywhere in email states. It has never existed anywhere in email states since 1999 at least we know and we ran a election in 2019 and we knew what happened. Even those who contested for presidency presidential election in email state did not pay as much as 54 million Naira. With all these strategies that government is coming up with in the name of policy in making sure that our voices are not heard will be completely resisted. In as much as the electoral act as amended in 2022 and the provisional in the INEC guideline do not bar us from making proper advertisement, selling our candidates, propounding and propagating our ideas and making sure that people buy into our views and ideas and making sure that we'll be able to realize the changes that people are yearning for. We will not be cowed, we will not hesitate to challenge that incompetent provisional in a competent court that has jurisdiction to protect some of these matters.
