Prioritise constituency’s interests - Governor Bello tells new National Assembly members

The Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello, has charged the newly elected Kogi state members of the National Assembly to make the interest of their constituencies priorities when they resume their duties as legislators.

Bello while receiving the elected members of 9th Assembly from Kogi state who paid him a courtesy visit on Thursday, March 14, after receiving their certificates of return said the well-being of the people of the state should be of paramount importance to the lawmakers.

Two senators out of three who contested and seven House Of Representatives members out of nine were elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress into the National Assembly.

He also said that Kogi people at various levels have conferred on them the right to legislate on their behalf and represent their interest at both the upper and lower chamber of the National Assembly.

According to the governor, such trust should motivate the lawmakers to attract development projects to their respective constituencies and also ensure quality representation of their people.

Bello also advised that they all partner with the state as progressive collaborators so as to jointly move the state further towards the direction of good governance and progress.

In his remark, the senator-elect for Kogi east federal constituency, Jibrin Isah Echocho, thanked the governor for standing by the candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the just concluded elections while declaring their support to the government.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?

Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
