From Isaac Ojo, Ifeoma Ejiofor, Nnewi
The Spiritual Head, Soul Revival Outreach, Nnewi Anambra State, Bro Iyke Uzukwu, has described the 9th Assembly of the National Assembly as the worst in the political history of Nigeria.
Bro Uzukwu made this assertion on Tuesday during an interactive session with journalists.
He said as a matter of fact that the National Assembly leadership and members should be blamed for most of blames heaped on President Muhamadu Buhari.
“The National Assembly should be blamed for endorsing whatever proposal that emanated from President Buhari, the Senate President at onset told Nigerians that he would do whatever the president wants. The statement credited to the senate president should automatically have caused agitations among Nigerians.
“In Argentina, their government wanted to go for IMF loan but the people revolted, the government had no choice than to suspend the plan. In Nigeria, people tend to be so docile about what should agitate them.
“Today, ASUU is on an extended strike and the duty bearers are unconcerned because their children are in other climes pursing their education, I think time has come for legislation to be in place to prevent politicians and other public servants from sending their children to private schools or abroad. When this is done, there would be a change of approach from the over bloated individuals in governance.
“It is only in Nigeria that politicians go about with security escorts, its not done in other forward looking environments. The affluent ones have their investment abroad. Yet, we want jobs to be created for the teeming unemployed youths. We cannot be doing things the same way and expect different result” he said.
