OSUN ASSEMBLY AND ITS COMMITMENT TO TRUE DEMOCRACY AND SINCERE CI by seye005(m): 1:27am On Jul 24, 2015
"No one is born a good citizen, no nation is born a democracy. Both are processes that evolve over a lifetime." -Kofi Annan
Legislative is the arm of government established to make laws for good governance of the state. As an institution, it comprises representatives of the people and has been playing important role in our democratic process, having the constitutional powers to make laws that determine the policies by which the affairs of the State are administered and resources are distributed to meet the needs of the electorate.
In the words of John Stuart Mills, the legislature is a “Representative Assembly.”  In the representative assembly, all wards, constituencies and districts are represented. A state may be termed democratic if it provides institutions that enhance the supremacy of the popular will on the basic issue of policy direction and leadership choice.
The House of Assembly performs the following roles:
· Makes Laws for the State;
·  Represent and discuss collective interest of the constituents;
·  Makes decisions on resource allocation;
·  Performs oversight functions over other organs of government.

All of which illustrates the constitutional roles of the legislature. These tentative tasks are to see through bills proposition and implementation for the improvement of life in abundance for the majority of the people. Indeed, the House of Assembly is the principal forum to discuss public policy, carry out research and reach a consensus on issues that affect the life of citizens in the State.

Although, the House of Assembly is not directly involved in the implementation of programs, the decisions it makes affect the programs and how they should be executed.

The fifth Osun Assembly under the leadership of Hon. Najeem Salaam enjoyed an amiable relationship with the executive arm of the state, which has so far lead to the laudable developmental growth of the state and also betterment of life of the majority. Hence, it is imperative to build on this relationship as not to take for granted incumbency but further reenact strength in the developmental tentative goals which implies that the house is committed to implementing every bill in appropriation of the expectation of the state, who are the reason of essence of each budget.

Although, the state of Osun is facing serious financial crisis, which the government is working day and night to find a lasting solution to, calls has been made to the State House Of Assembly to impeach the governor and his deputy, but there is a question we need to ask ourselves; will the impeachment of the governor and his deputy bring the solution to the financial crisis that is rocking the State? Apparently, the State of Osun is not the only state facing such problems.

As far as I'm concerned, the State of Osun House Of Assembly has never fallen short of its legislative duties and commitment to serving the people of Osun. According to the State Of Osun sixth assembly speaker Hon. Najeem Salaam, he said and I quote, "We are open to constructive critizisim to enable better services to the electorates."

What Osun needs now is continuous support of the governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who has demonstrated an uncommon ability to do the best for the majority. The members of the State House of Assembly must recall all the great reasons that made them stick with this man in the past and convince themselves that he is still the best man for the job. They must protect him from those who have no understanding of the issues at hand but only want to see a good man punished for a crime he has no hand in.

With Ogbeni, Osun will get it right. Osun is getting it right.

seye005:

With Ogbeni, Osun will get it right. Osun is getting it right.

I hope the above statement was meant to be a joke.

If not then you and all who share your sentiments are the missing link between man and the ape.

So people still reason like this, only in Nigeria sha.

No amount of propaganda can make me hate our progressive governor, with time every hardship that befall Osun will be over.
