Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Support Group Austria

Earlier, I signed into law four historic tax and fiscal bills at the A*o Villa, marking a new dawn in Nigeria’s economic governance.

These new laws simplify our tax regime and deliver Nigeria’s first major, pro-people tax cuts in a generation. They also provide targeted relief for low-income earners, small businesses, and working families across the country.

The following Acts will now be gazetted as laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria:
- The Nigeria Tax (Fair Taxation) Act
- The Nigeria Tax Administration Act
- The Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act
- The Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Act

Implementation will commence effective January 1, 2026.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

*If I Can Meet Aregbesola personally*

-Oni Gbolabo (Dr.)

1. Ogbeni should first have peace with his body, soul and his creator because posterity is bigger than the political relevance he is trying to gain.

2. Ogbeni should look back to hi background, his school mates and friends to see how God favored him by circumstances. Sir, it has nothing to do with your strategy nor skills but circumstances that just favored you. If not, Tinubu won't give you so much dominance over his lieutenants. Not by your education, knowledge, skills nor power just divine favor. The same divine favor you hate to see in Tinubu's life.

3. After looking back you will realize that you had been favored unduly by unknown people who should not have had anything to do with you. Just God. The same favor God shown another man that makes you pray to God to bring him down 👎.haba!

4. Bros Aregbe, all Alfas, all immams, all Babalawo, all marabouts in France, Cuba, Cotonou, Oshogbo and anywhere else including the one that does not see sun who uses cows and ram cannot dictate for God. Try to remember Laola wallah Kuata Illa billal ashim. You need to seek God's forgiveness first. You injured many people.

5. No matter how rich someone there's always a weakness. If the weakness is not treated it can kill. Your weakness is low self esteem. You fear anyone rising besides you. Any success you cannot dictate is always a threat to you. It is a bad idea, work on it and you may rise again.

6. Same low self esteem made you want to prove that without "ME" APC will lose and with me APC will win. It is a lie, a lot of factors combined that made APC lose election not because of you only sir. I was so amused when you still threatened that if they don't allow you to see Tinubu you will go to Labor Party. Go there and finance it and see what remains. Remember it was your errors in Osun state that PDP used to campaign against APC.

7. If not selfishness you should remember that when you were reigning some people suspended their own destinies for your own to reign. So why can't you suspend your interest too?

7. From commissioner to governor to minister later, haba. Still believe it must be you. It is still due to domineering spirit because you can't operate without power or authority. If not low esteem you won't have hired Okada to ride in front of you or used an open roof car to wave at people who care not about your presence.

8. Remember people that died when you were trying to claim your mandate and those who soldiers killed in Ilesha. Remember those arrested and tortured all for your mandate. What did those people gain in APC? Cap &T shirts. If I tell you my experience then😭😭.

9. Satan told God before he revolted against God. Satan said IF GOD CAN BE SUPREME GOD WHY CAN'T I BE SAME? AT LEAST WE CREATED MAN TOGETHER AND I KNOW THE SECRET OF CREATION.

10. Truly, Satan witnessed the creation but he forgot that he didn't create himself. You Ogbeni witnessed the creation of AD, AC, ACN and APC but you didn't create yourself as well. God created you but APC made you, not the other way around.

11. Sir, the major problem is Low Esteem and domineering spirit if you can work on it you will enjoy yourself for the rest of your life. It is the reason you are so uncomfortable where you cannot dominate others. That's why you always want to dominate discussions and conversations. You want others to bow but you don't want to bow for anyone. Today those who prevent you from seeing Tinubu supposed to be begging you to see Tinubu.

12. Low self esteem brings selfishness and look for conspiracy. Look at all ungrateful boys that followed you to revolt against APC, they were nothing before APC. If you were not carried away you will tell them the truth.

13. Yes, I called those boys ungrateful because it is what they made from APC they used to fight against APC. They too are so ungrateful to the extent that they forgot when they were holding two or three posts at the same time, when other better members were holding nothing. Although that is one of the problems of APC which will never happen again in Osun state.

14. Bros Aregbe, there's no glory in destruction because any idiot can destroy. What makes a man great is the ability to build.
It takes more effort, IQ, gumption, ingenuity to build. With ordinary TOP you destroy APC but you cannot build APC with the same TOP. Now you are flouting OMOLUABI 😅😂. So funny 😂. Shame won't allow those boys to come back now sir.

15. Remember, those blind boys that went with you won't come with you because their journey had been inglorious. Booda Aregbe, if you come back do you think you will be able to dictate for members again? What about trust?If we did not remain inside the party when you revolted where will APC be? Basic truth! I was almost killed for your mandate.

16. Remember if you come back to APC now I will talk before you because you met me in the party now😂😅

PRESS STATEMENT

*ROTIMI AMAECHI, INCITING ANARCHY IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND UNPATRIOTIC *

From the lavish comfort of his “proverbial glass house”, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, former Minister of Transport and Governor of Rivers state, in a recent interview, berated Nigerian youth for not protesting “high cost of living” in the country to his morbid satisfaction.

Amaechi’s comments are insensitive, god-awful and unpatriotic, coming from one of Nigeria’s longest serving and highest ranking political freeloaders - a two-term Speaker of the Rivers state House of Assembly, a two-term Governor, and a two-term Minister of Transport.

For almost all of his adult life, Amaechi, has been a leechy dependant on state resources, a voracious beneficiary of official patronage, and a leading participant in the generational devastation of our country’s economy. Attempting to hoodwink Nigerians into his web of false empathy and incitement to violence is hypocritical, provocative and dangerous.

If those in power “steal money” as Amaechi mischievously alleged, how come he can’t afford “to buy diesel” barely two years after “stealing” for over 24 years in power as Speaker, Governor and Minister?

The only real anger that Amaechi and his fellow tribesmen of naysayers of the likes of Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, must feel is that they are not in the saddle of government today. But that was a decision made by Nigeria’s ultimate political authority - the electorate. Nigerians are highly perceptive, discerning, demure, and mindful that economic discomforts associated with the administration’s inevitable reforms are transient and will pale into insignificance in comparison to the enduring transformative dividends which are already beginning to manifest. Nigerians will not be cajoled into taking back through street violence what they handed to the administration through the ballot, as Amaechi and his partisan tribesmen would wish.

It is nauseating to think that these naysayer tribesmen who did absolutely nothing to improve the economy or living conditions for Nigerians while they were in office, now pontificate, endlessly, about what and how things should be done but didn’t and couldn’t do while in power.

It’s as though they only regain their senses and discover their talents for governance when they are out of power. A tribe of naysayers, is what they are, who never see any good, only gloom, filled with bile and disdain for the determined strides of APC-administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to transform our country’s economy for the benefit of present and future generations of Nigerians.

One would expect Amaechi to keep busy trying to solve the crippling crisis in Rivers state that he once governed. Instead, he has chosen to stoke anarchy on a national scale. Weaponizing protest and exploiting citizen’s economic discomfort for selfish political objective, as these partisan tribesmen are doing, is irresponsible and decidedly unpatriotic.

We urge Nigerians to dismiss the call to anarchy by Amaechi and his partisan tribesmen and to remain patient and continue to support President Tinubu’s bold effort to transform our country’s economy once and for all.
