Tax Without Accountability Is Ransom – Dele Farotimi Slams Tinubu Government

Farotimi warns that demanding taxes in the absence of transparency is no different from extortion. “If you’re not accountable to those you’re taxing, what you collect is essentially a ransom,” he said. His comments have sparked a lively online debate about governance, public funds and the relationship between taxation and accountability in Nigeria.
