Recall that in the past, we alleged Hon. shaba Ibrahim,former member representing lokoja/kogi federal constituency of been arrogant. Now what do we have as our representative?
How many bills does our reps sponsored or co- sponsored? like the saying goes ” we don’t need new mosques, instead build or empower worshipers’ We don’t need boreholes, what our people need is rescue them from the current economic hardship, hight levels of inflation, poverty among various hardship under the APC administration.
Instead of addressing some of the issues mentioned above, our elected reps members are busy receiving unceremonious and unrecognized traditional titles . But they should remember that whatever goes up, shall definitely come down.
We should continue to speak to our representatives, elected or appointed. We shouldn’t fold our arms or turn ourselves to yeomen or hero worshipers’. We voted for you believing that you’ll do better than your predecessor,. Rt Hon Buba Jibrin of blessed memory would continue to be remembered. Rt Hon Umar Imam’s legacies still remain fresh in our memories. During imam’s tenure, each ward was given N1m for constituency project. Gurza was extraordinary! Babadoko was a household name in Lokoja 1 constituency then! .
Finally, our elected and appointed reps must be committed to the welfare of the people of their constituency, they must learn how to make their constituent feel their impart as four years is like 4 days. Let me use this medium to commend the Hon. commissioner for water resources, Engineer Yahaya Muhammed Danladi Farouk for his untiring efforts within the short time of assumption in office as the Commissioner for Water Resources. Same goes for THE COMRADE CARETAKER CHAIRMAN, COMRADE ABDULLAHI ADAMU, who sees political office as Transitional! Despite the financial situation in the local government, under his supervision, teachers and local government staff salary has been improved.
