PLACE BUHARI, OSIBANJO AND GOVERNORS ON LEVEL 17 SALARY SCALE, PLACE NASS MEMBERS ON LEVEL 15 AND SACK ALL FORMER GOVERNORS IN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

IGBO NATIONAL STAKEHOLDERS'
ASSEMBLY INSA WORLDWIDE.

PRESS RELEASE 24/10/2020

Igbo National Stakeholders' Assembly INSA condemns in strong terms the killing of #ENDSARS protesters at Lekki Lagos state. The protesters were exercising their right, killing them in cold blood is a crime against humanity.

The call to scrap the defunct Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) and reform the police force is a sign that the entire security structure in Nigeria have failed woefully. It is only in Nigeria that people die in large number every day for more than ten years now. Bokoharam terrorists, fulani killer herdsmen, bandits, kidnappers kill hundreds of Nigerians on daily basis. The primary assignment of government to protect lives and properties in Nigeria does not work. The killing of our youths who were doing peaceful protest in Lekki has shown that Nigeria and Lagos state governments have failed and should apologize to Nigerians. Responsive Countries who value lives provide security for her protesters not watch them being slaughtered only to play blame games.

It beats our imagination that the call by Nigerians before now to remove all security chiefs and replace them with qualified ones has been ignored to the detriment of Nigerians. The notion that the Nigerian security outfits cannot provide safe environment in Nigeria is a lie. The impendent is that the qualified are not allowed to head our security structures, there is no motivation for security operatives and it appears that some people who are benefiting from the insecurity are bent on seeing Nigeria destroyed.

The insecurity in Nigeria is only one part of our problems. We have a rotten and failed system yearning for holistic overhaul. Now that the youths have woken up, it is high time those in authority become pragmatic enough to stop all forms of impunity and address all issues raised and provide good governance at all levels. Turning deaf ear to this will result to anarchy and the first target will be the political class.

In order to save Nigeria from total collapse, Igbo National Stakeholders' Assembly INSA recommends the following;
1. The Lekki killing should be investigated and all involved should be meant to face the full wrath of the law.
2. All security chiefs should be sacked and replaced with qualified officers.
3. Reduction of high cost of governance. Salaries of the President, Governors, National Assembly Members and all elected/appointed political officeholders should take the toll of Nigerian civil service. The President, the vice president, governors and deputy governors should should be placed on level 17 salary scale of Nigerian civil service while the NASS members should be placed on level 15.
4. National Assembly should be a part time job with no other benefit or allowance more than that of the civil service.
5. All former governors, deputy governors holding elected or appointed positions should resign immediately, while they should be banned from holding offices.
6. All corrupt individuals irrespective of party affiliations should be prosecuted and looted funds recovered.
7. Security votes given to Governors on monthly basis should be stopped and channeled to education and research.
8. The children of all elected or appointed political officeholders should be meant to attend public schools, while them and their families will make use of public hospitals. This includes the President, Governors, NASS members etc.
9. Nigeria should be restructured.

Signed;
1. Chief John Uche
President General INSA.
2. Prince Erondu Uche PEU
Publicity Secretary INSA

They will steal loot so this doesn't make sense

I had this same thought going on in my head, why don’t we come together to occupy the National Assembly and demand for total review of their salary to level 17, salary so as not to make it too attractive again. The place should be strictly for those who really want to contribute their own quota to the development of the Country

Bravo!
