Anambra lawmakers ride Keke, governor's girlfriends,others cruise in luxury cars

By: ULOKA, Chibuike

I had planned to thoroughly assess the performance of the current Anambra State House of Assembly members inaugurated in June 2023, from the beginning of January 2024 to evaluate their achievements and adherence to their promises. Unfortunately, this is hindered by the Governor, who, as the head of the Executive, has yet to fulfill their statutory obligations as required by law.

Despite the Governor ensuring luxurious cars for his office, the Deputy, Commissioners, Special Advisers, and even girlfriends, assembly members are left to rely on rented vehicles and tricycles for their transportation needs.

Furthermore, the lack of sufficient funds force some assembly members to even resort to squatting in apartments of friends and acquaintances in the state capital. This discrepancy in treatment only intensifies the frustration of the assembly members, with the exception of Speaker of the House, Hon. Somtoo Udeze, who is often seen as a loyal supporter of the Governor's agenda against his colleagues.

Their recently approved budget is their first, and the projects they allocated to their constituencies have not received funding. Some members, who took loans for election campaigns, are now in hiding due to an inability to repay.

Professor Charles Soludo's refusal to grant them autonomy, despite it being passed into law, has left them dependent on meager allowances to carry out their duties.

Not a single Assembly member celebrated Christmas and New Year with their constituencies across the 30 constituencies in Anambra State.

Financial constraints prevent them from supporting constituents, while Charles Soludo's commissioners overshadow elected lawmakers in their respective local government areas with federal government donated bags of rice which the Governor shared to his aides alone.

They were deceived into passing the 2024 budget, hoping the Governor would fulfill his promise of funds to them. But many were disappointed and felt used when the governor rewarded only the Speaker of the House.

Little can be expected from them in 2024, as they have essentially signed away their relevance with the appropriation bill, allocating a mere two billion naira for the House of Assembly's running costs, compared to over thirty-seven billion naira for the Governor and Deputy Governor's offices, despite both being equal arms of the government, (Executive and Legislature).

Professor Charles Soludo's administration has been questionable in every aspect. I sympathize with the current Assembly; they are easily manipulated and, unfortunately, vulnerable.

Don't anticipate significant performance from the current Assembly. Many will spend the next four years dealing with debts and planning for reelection. When they come seeking mercy, consider their predicament and forgive them. Professor Charles SOLUDO, CFR is the enemy and culprit who wishes to set them up against their constituents.

Withdrawing the suit does not end the matter.
PDP is in court trying to ensure that the said 25 do not remain in the house. What Ehie has done is to leave PDP to handle the constitutional matter through the courts. That’s the same position with Fubara.

Sermwell:
You're not smart at all!! Have you ever seen this man with Politicians of other political parties?? What does that tell you?

Brendaniel:
You guys are so engrossed in politics that you forget about governance.....

Does it make them to come out from dirt poverty ravishing the state. People that glory in their poverty and curse.

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has congratulated All Progressives Congress (APC) on the victories of all its candidates at the Appeal Court, including the reclaiming of the Odo-Ogun State Constituency in Oyun Local Government.

The victory on the Odo Ogun Constituency means that the APC now has all the 24 seats in the Kwara State House of Assembly.

The Governor specifically congratulated Hon. Rukayyat Shittu of Owode/Onire Constituency (Asa); Hon. Razaq Owolabi (Shaare/Oke Ode Constituency; and Hon. Atoye Yusuf Musa, the APC candidate in the 2023 House of Assembly who has been declared the winner of the election.

He said the victory reaffirms the confidence of the people in the party and the government, and that the party ticked all the right boxes in the electoral process.

The Governor added, however, that the victory comes with renewed responsibility on the affected legislators to deliver more to the people for the confidence reposed in our party.

The Governor is confident that the legislators will continue to represent the interest of the people.

He also commended the judges for standing firm by the law and resisting any blackmail or threat in the discharge of their constitutional duties.

You want him to give order while the president is still active, same questions you guys kept asking during Buhari regime


Make una day use that brain sometimes now 😏😏

Zooposki:
I thought Igboho wanted Oduduwa Republic? He is now all of a sudden pro Nigeria? I’m confused.

Racoon:
Of course, God's servants don't get tired or retired. However my grouse with him remains, he didn't speak the truth to those evil and corrupt people in government( Buhari and Co). Elijah, Elisha Isaiah Jeremiah didn’t do this see no evil speak no evil of wicked rulers.

All we are saying, upload results on irev in real time. If they had done so, everybody will congratulate the winner.

It was actually a very stupid argument. But honestly I strongly believe Peter obi won majority of votes cast in the last election. The issue is he had no structure and relied heavily on the integrity of INEC.
