Vice Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo says if a Buhari-led administration is given the opportunity to rule Nigerians in March, traiff on imported vehicles will be slashed.
He said this while speaking at a town hall meeting of political stakeholders in Ondo State on Tuesday.
Osinbajo also said the APC government would tackle the power problem by decentralising power generation across the country and that they had no plans to Islamise Nigeria contrary to the campaign smear of the Peoples Democratic Party.
He said, “We do not agree that there should be high tariffs on imported cars whether new or old ones because Nigeria is not producing cars for now.
“What we will do first is to fix power and encourage local production of cars. But before then we will reduce the high tariffs that Nigerians are paying to import vehicles into the country.”
Prof. Osinbajo argued that Nigerians should not find it difficult to purchase cars for their soci0-economic activities, and the APC government would ensure lower tariffs when voted into power.
