A member of the House of Representatives representing Ekiti North Federal Constituency I, Mr. Bimbo Daramola, has faulted those advocating the convocation of Sovereign National Conference to address the problems facing the country.

Daramola said this at a press conference in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday.

He said the call was unnecessary, saying those who would be part of such conference were not more patriotic than the 469 members of the National Assembly who were elected by the majority of Nigerians.

He described the agitation for the convocation of the conference as an affront on the Nigerian Constitution and usurpation of the powers of the National Assembly.

Daramola advised the advocates of the SNC to shelve the idea, saying the nation did not need SNC to tar its roads, to improve health facilities and fix other problems.

He said, “We don’t need any SNC because Nigerians have already elected members of the National Assembly to represent their interest.

“Nigeria cannot afford to set up an unconstitutional parallel body to rival the National Assembly. What we need in Nigeria is how to present an equitable and justifiable Nigeria, where everybody could have a sense of belonging.

“We don’t need any SNC to know that we should tar the roads, give employments to our youths and give stable power supply for more electricity generation for industrial development in our country; so there is nothing the SNC members would want to discuss that the NASS cannot discuss.”

He urged the FG to tackle the problem of youth unemployment, saying having too many youths roaming the streets was dangerous to the nation.

The lawmaker also faulted the mobile sale of kerosene by the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, saying those in rural communities did not benefit from this because the trucks were limited to urban centres.

He advised the NNPC to look for a way to make the commodity available to every Nigeria irrespective of where they reside.

Daramola added that the Federal Government had spent N493bn on road construction between 1999 and 2007. He said despite this huge amount of money, more than 98,000 persons lost their lives in road accidents due to the deplorable condition of the roads across the country.

okunboy:
IBB, "Obj is a failure", 1 point
OBJ, "IBB is a fool", 1 point
IBB, "Obj is an Inbreed", 1 point

IBB total score = 2
OBJ total score = 1

IBB still leading.

In this fight, the rule is; if the opponent refuse to respond in 2 days, that will be taken for a tactical withdrawal and the referee will be left with no other option than to declare the candidate with the highest scores the winner. As it is now, OBJ to play next!

The statement read: “Very soon, we would wage Jihad on the enemies of God and his prophet. We want to make it known that our Jihadists (warriors) have arrived Nigeria from Somalia where they got serious training on warfare from our brethren who made the country ungovernable and forced the interim government to relocate to Kenya.

“We want to assure all security agencies that we would frustrate their efforts. By the grace of God, despite the armoured carriers that they are boasting of, they are not match with the training we acquired in Somalia.”

alj_harem:

Gov Chime Sulivan commitment to commercial farming cannot be overemphasized in all ramification. He has devoted a substantial fund to totally transforming the agriculture sector via mechanization of farming methods.

"The Home of Peace" - This acronym well fits Borno State as the State is known for its peaceful and hospitable nature despite its diverse differences in terms of history, religion, culture and languages amongst others. A brief on the State is all that is required to make a visitor to Borno State feel at home,

Governor Chibuike Amaechi, who disclosed this during a professional stakeholders' meeting in Government House, Port Harcourt on Tuesday, stated that although security in the state has improved tremendously since the inception of his administration, it was poised to build on the success recorded so far by embarking on aerial surveillance.

"Before April next year, we'll have two helicopters with surveillance cameras flying round Rivers State everyday to beef up the reconnaissance of the state," he said.

Amaechi announced his government's plan to boost the activities of the Joint Military Task Force Anti-Kidnapping unit as it is collaborating with federal authorities to establish a Military Barrack at Omuma in Omuma Local Council.

On electricity, he remarked: "We have 130 megawatts at the Trans-Amadi Power Station but the Federal Government didn't allow us to distribute, and the law is on their side. I was told that the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) only distributes 50 out of the 130 megawatts, and that is because they currently don't have the capacity."

"And now we are building additional 180 megawatts at Afam. We have asked the Federal Government to give us concession to do our own power distribution, they said no. But we are going ahead. We are anticipating the support of Mr. President. We have set up a committee to work out the modalities and the committee is headed by Mutiu Sunmonu, the Managing Director of Shell."

Amaechi assured of improved power supply by the end of December 2012.

He also spoke of the vision of his administration, enumerating key projects, which it has completed and is planning to complete before the end of his tenure.
