The Speaker of
Katsina State House
of Assembly, Aliyu
Sabiu Muduru, has
given reasons why some lawmakers
avoid their their constituencies,
saying that the decision of the lawmakers may not be unconnected
with how people make personal demands rather than collective
needs of the electorate.

Muduru made the
disclosure at a one day
interactive forum
tagged “Citizens Conservation and
National Interest”
organized by National
Orientation Agency
(NOA) in collaboration
with a German based
foundation, Konrad
Adenauer Stiftung,
held at Liyafa Palace
Hotel Katsina.


He urged the stakeholders to
enlighten the public on
the primary role of the
elected public officials
in order to overcome
one the challenges
facing the smooth
growth of democracy
and ensure that law
makers do not shy
from the electorate.
Reviewing the score
card of the house,
Muduru disclosed that
the state legislators
had passed no fewer
than 18 bills into law
and endorsed over 130
motions in their
efforts to render
quality service to the
electorate in the
current legislative year.


In his keynote address, second republic law maker, Senator Abba Ali, expressed worry that most members of the national and state
assemblies shun their
constituencies after
their election.

Citing greed and
ingratitude of some
lawmakers as the
actual reason many of
them shun their
electorate, the chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) urged them to always remember their social contract with their people.

“Many senators and
members of the
House of Representatives are
particularly found
guilty of this negative
attitude. Probably due
to greed and not
appreciating or realizing or conceding to the fact that it is the huge sum of money they collected
every now and then as
genuine and less than
genuine allowances
and constituency
projects that cause
the rush,” he said.


Earlier, the state director of NOA, Armaya’u Liti Rimaye,
noted that the programme was
designed to promote
transparency and
accountability in
governance as well as
create awareness
among stakeholders
on government
business.

He was also optimistic
that the forum would
promote democracy,
rule of law, unity and
dignity of labour while
creating a platform for
public education.

"You running and you running and you running away but you can't run away from yourself" -Bob Marley

As u run, death is running the race with you.

After they win they review their promises!

You collected constituency development fund. The people want to see the development.

Constitutionally nothing concerns legislatures with constituency development. That is the job of the executive. Apart from making laws, they are supposed to ensure that the items in the budget of the executive are carried out to the letter. But the legislatures cut corner to collect their share through constituency development fund and abandon their monitoring role hence abandoned projects everywhere.

How many politicians make collective request......vote the candidate that will add value to the system? Don't they all make individual request?
Till Nigerians grow up, let them continue....laka this... laka that!

There should exist a law that makes it mandatory for politicians to be residents of their constituencies after winning elections and all through during their tenure.

We will hopefully, witness a drastic CHANGE for the better.

Politicians are entitled oo funny

Hon. Ossai Nicholas Ossai representing Ndokwa in the House of Rep. is the Number one culprit, cos you only see him whenever elections are close.

But same politicians find their way back to d same ppl by fire by force during elections. What a lame excuse.

It is well.

You are not serious Mr speaker; when you guys used to flash cash and other stomach infrastructure up and down when contesting.

What do you expect? that's the kind of governance the people are used to.

When you are campaigning you plead and preach to peoples personal conscience and in turn they vote for you but when it is time for you to fulfill your campaign promises you say they are now taking it personal. God will judge you all

hmmmmm

governance in Nigeria is Just... THE THEORY OF A FAILED STATE.... black Man in General...
