THE Majority Leader of the Edo State
House of Assembly,Mr Philip Shaibu
has disclosed that each lawmaker in
the state House of Assembly receives
the sum of N36million yearly for
constituency projects, urging the
people of the state to demand for
records of their stewardship.
Shaibu, who is representing Etsako
West at the State Assembly, disclosed
this during the commissioning of
blocks of 3 classrooms at Jattu and
Ugiede respectively, where he also
hinted of his intention to run for the
House of Representatives seat.
He urged the electorate not to be
deceived by lawmakers who are in
the habit of saying that they have no
business in the execution of projects
but the executive, adding that the
decision was reached between the
Executive and the legislators in the
state so as to spread the dividends
of democracy across the state.
According to him,”It is not true that
what we do is mainly making laws
because before I came into the
House, I never knew constituency
projects exist . Prior to this period,
we get N20 million annually but
between 2013 and 2014, the Comrade
governor had to increase it to
N36million so that we will be able to
execute quality projects. And I thank
God that my own projects are there
for everyone to see and other
lawmakers must show their
constituency projects to the people.
“I challenge the electorates to
demand accountability from their
representatives because we have one
file which the governor approves for
the 24 members including the PDP
lawmakers. Sometimes my colleagues
tackle me when I make public what
comes to my constituency but I don’t
think it is something hidden unless
you decide to pocket the money
rather than work for the people and
this is what I want our people to
investigate” he said.
