Popular actress, Iyabo Ojo has cried out to Nigerians about Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his government.

She took to social media and wrote:

“@jidesanwoolu @lagosstategovt, please, how do you people come up with these outrageous personal income taxes you send on a daily basis?”

“After paying for different types of taxes for one’s businesses, house & all…. you still come up with all this huge amount and give me 7 days to pay up, lol.”

“Last time, you people asked me to come to your office, I came, you asked me to explain and declare what I earn, which I did with my tax consultant, but no you did not respond to my letter, because you want me to pay you an outrageous amount that I do not have, make I go thief ni? I ask again, ‘How do you people come up with such outrageous bills?’”

“What have you people ever done for me as a government? NOTHING. Since you guys insist, You can gladly come and close down my business, arrest me, jail me, or kill me for all I care, we all will die one day.”

For those who don’t know, the Lagos State Government gave her seven (7) days to pay a sum of N18,640,092.00 as personal income tax or risk jail.
