FCT Poll: SDP vows not to punish residents with multiple taxes
The Social Democratic Party promises residents of the Bwari Area Council that it will not impose multiple taxes if elected during the upcoming elections.
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has assured residents of the Bwari Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) that it will not implement multiple taxation policies if it secures victory in the upcoming elections. This commitment was articulated by the National Chairman of the SDP, Prof. Abubakar Gombe, during a visit to the royal palace to seek blessings from local leaders before the polls scheduled for Saturday. This move underscores the party's strategy to engage the local community and foster goodwill.
During the visit, Prof. Gombe emphasized the importance of credible leadership and urged residents to actively participate in the democratic process by voting. He articulated the partyβs vision of governance, which aims to avoid punitive measures such as multiple taxes and the recent subsidy removals that have affected citizens' livelihoods. Gombe's assurances signify a clear differentiation from past policies perceived to burden the average citizen while aiming to enhance community involvement in governance.
The SDPβs outreach efforts highlight its intent to connect with the electorate on a more personal level, appealing for support by promising more accessible and community-focused governance. This focus on local issues is crucial as the elections approach, and the party is making strategic moves to build trust among the electorate in the Bwari Area Council, which is considered vital for its political success in the Federal Capital Territory.
