THE DEPRIVATION OF THE CONSTITUENCY DEVELOPMENTAL ALLOWANCE OF MY CONSTITUENCY BY GOVERNOR GODWIN OBASEKI
When I hear and see acts being done by this Government of Godwin Obaseki, I begin to wonder if this is the same well Educated and oriented Governorship Aspirant/Candidate haven stayed in America for quite a number of years, that was preached to us then, because I do not understand why a person will stay in such a civilized country and having seen and observe their Political culture, come to Nigeria and still adopt the same Political Culture of Sentiment, Prejudice, Tribalism, Nepotism and all kind of ill political character that is killing this Nation and fast pushing it to the extreme that seems to be a problem that have defiled Solution, hence the Continuous Development of Underdeveloped of our Nation Nigeria today.
When we look at the problem we are facing in Nigeria today, where Unity in Diversity has become Unachievable, Politics of tribal and Political Identify has become the order of the day, an Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Tiv man preferred to be first recognize as an Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and Tiv man respectively before as a Nigerian Citizen, being more Loyal to his tribal identity than the Nation and its General Course. A Politician being more Loyal to his party than the Common Interest of his Nation which has made party affiliation the determinant of your Political relevance in Nigeria cum Edo state and obviously now shamefully and most regrettably the determinant of the Constituency Development Allowance of the members of the Law Makers in the State, which has automatically hinders the Development of such Constituency. Don't you think therefore that when discussing FACTORS MILITATING AGAINST THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NATION such as Nigeria using Edo state as a sample that then the almighty GOVERNMENT should be the Number One of such Factors?
What a Big Pity the kind of Government we have in Nigeria today, who knows absolutely nothing about Governance.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE LIKE AMERICA, EVERY NATION WISHES TO BE AS DEVELOPED AS AMERICA, BUT NON OF THESE NATIONS ESPECIALLY THE AFRICAN WANT TO MAKE THE SACRIFICE MADE BY THESE NATIONS THAT MAKES THEIR DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE.
Have you ever heard of any American Government punishing a particular set of people because of their Party Affiliation?
Marginalizing a section of the Nation because of their Political Choice?
Or Depriving a Constituency of their Constitutional Right, the almighty Constituency Developmental Allowance.
This is because these people have taken the Development of their Nation FIRST above all things including POLITICS ITSELF which Nigerian cum Edo state Political demagogues have taken as their priority in the practice of their POLITICS OF POLITICS cum POLITICS OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT.
What a Big shame that at this time in the Political History of this Nation and most importantly a time of such where DEVELOPMENT ought to be a Competition among government of every State/Nations and Government of the WORLD my Constituency THE ESAN NORTH EAST 1 and 2 and (UROMI) alongside two other Constituencies in my state the Edo State of Nigeria has been Deprived of her CONSTITUENCY DEVELOPMENTAL ALLOWANCE just because its members in the Edo state House of Assembly are PDP while the Government of the day is an APC Government. My this is the Country that want to be as Developed as America and Europe. Oya begin to pack the America now if the American/European Development dey Fly for Air For me, personally, I wouldn't be begging anybody to give us our Constituency Developmental Project Allowance for my people.
I have said it times without numbers, that the Nigerian Government does not know anything about Governance, they are absolutely unaware of the meaning of National Interest, Common Good, General Will or what Patriotism entails, hence I shouldn't expect such from the Edo state Government for it's what you have and know that you freely give.
IF THEREFORE I ENAHOLO IS TO TALK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OR SITUATION I HAVE FOUND MY CONSTITUENCY NOW, I WILL BE FORCED TO ASK THE GOVERNOR, SINCE HE SO MUCH BELIEVE IN CONSTITUENCY DEVELOPMENT TO HAVE FEW DAYS AGO GONE TO HIS OWN LOCAL GOVERNMENT OF ORIGIN, UHUNMWODE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CALLED FOR A TOWN HALL MEETING NOT TO PROMISE BUT TO ASSURE THE PEOPLE OF JUST TOO MANY CONSTITUENCY DEVELOPMENTAL PROJECT ON VARIOUS SECTORS WHICH WILL BE COMING TO LIMELIGHT SOON, THEN SHOULD MY OWN CONSTITUENCY BE UNDERDEVELOPED FOR YOUR CONSTITUENCY TO DEVELOP? WILL IT BE RIGHT FOR ME TO SAY YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT THE CONSTITUENCY DEVELOPMENT ALLOWANCE OF MY CONSTITUENCY THE ESAN NORTH EAST CONSTITUENCY TO DEVELOP YOUR OWN CONSTITUENCY?
SIR, DO YOU KNOW THE DANGER OF THE ACT YOU ARE CARRYING OUT AGAINST MY PEOPLE BY DEPRIVING THEM OF DEVELOPMENTAL ALLOWANCE?
DO YOU KNOW THOSE WHO SAID POWER IS TRANSIENT ARE NOT THE I GO DIES AND BASKET MOUTHS ON THE STAGE TO GIVE JOKE?
ARE YOU NOW TEACHING THE YOUNGER FOLKS THAT POLITICS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOURS AT THE DETRIMENT OF THEIRS IN WITH THE USE OF AN EXCUSE?
AND ARE YOU TELLING AND IRRUA MAN TO DO SAME TO YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT WHEN HE EVENTUALLY BECOMES THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE TOMORROW ON THE EXCUSE THAT AN UHUNMWODE MAN DID SAME TO HIS PEOPLE.
WHY ARE WE ACTUALLY BY OURSELVES SOWING A SEED OF ETHNIC DISCORD AND TRIBAL IDENTITY DISGUISED AS POLITICAL IDENTIFY IN OUR BEAUTIFUL STATE?
WHY ON EARTH SHOULD A GOVERNMENT HINDERS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PARTICULAR PART OF THE STATE AND FINALLY MR GOVERNOR WHAT WHY IS THE CONSTITUENCY DEVELOPMENTAL ALLOWANCE OF UROMI WITHHELD IN THE POLICE CUSTODY OF OSADEBE AVENUE?
If I was to advise the Governments at various level in Nigeria today, all would simply advise them is to please check other countries of the world, see their Government and at least be ashamed of themselves, but it unfortunate that at the Inception of Independence in Nigeria, the water that was used to bath the Colonial constitution of our Political Offices subsequently in 1963 in becoming a Republic was mistakenly thrown away with the Shame of Not Doing Well, Underdevelopment, Bad Governance and Gross Incompetence of the New Leaders along with the dirty Waters, hence, the result of today whereby in spite of these SHAME they still very much feel Comfortable among other Nation states of the World that are not their mates in anything Good.
Well, I wouldn't say much, because when those who are suppose to be the Custodians of Law becomes the Breaker of same law, and those who are suppose to Develop a Society turns to be those deliberately Underdeveloping such Society, then you begin to ask yourself the Relevant of a Government and a Law in our Land and among us as a people.
God bless the OLIKA NATION my lovely CONSTITUENCY.
