If Fubara conducts LG election without INEC Voters Register, then I doff my hat for him. It means Fubara is ready to share his allocation with his appointed LG Chairmen because the FG won't recognise them since they are not products of the law. And going by the Supreme Court ruling, no kobo will go to unelected Chairmen.
Bravo Fubara 👏
I am ashamed and disgusted at the behavior of @NuhuRibadu
Same man who was silent when Buhari was President and never called him out for his failed leadership and the killings of the people by terrorists and bandits is now emboldened because he serves a worse failure than Buhari to say all sorts of things about Buhari’s administration.
What a cowardly way!
A CALL TO ACTION FOR OUR NATION'S FUTURE
A WELCOME ADDRESS DELIVERED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE, HIS EXCELLENCY DISTINGUISHED SENATOR GODSWILL OBOT AKPABIO, CON, AT THE RESUMPTION OF THE SENATE PLENARY ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2024
As we gather once more in this esteemed chamber to resume our crucial work for the people of Nigeria, I choose to describe our reconvening as a vital undertaking. This is because our responsibilities as legislators transcend the boundaries of time and space as we work around the clock. As I have often reiterated, while the Judiciary may stand as the last refuge of the common man, it is the Legislature that embodies the first glimmer of hope for the common man. I believe that if we, as the architects of our nation’s destiny, can stem the tide when it rises and set our sails with purpose, the Executive will navigate with greater ease, and the Judiciary will ensure that the course defined by our collective will is adhered to.
The recent break was an opportunity for us to connect with the heartbeat of your constituents, instilling in them the belief that brighter days lie ahead. In the past three months, we have witnessed a myriad of significant developments—both trials and triumphs—that demand our immediate attention and resolute action.
In the face of rising economic pressures, our fellow citizens have been grappling with the harsh realities of inflation, soaring living costs, and an unpredictable market. These challenges have tested the very fabric of our society, and I stand here today to express our deepest empathy for every Nigerian who bears the burden of these trying times. Your struggles are not lost on us; it is our sacred duty, as your earnest representatives, to respond with urgency and compassion.
Yet, amidst these trials, we have also seen commendable strides in various sectors, thanks to the Executive Arm led by His Excellency President Bola Tinubu, GCFR. Our agricultural initiatives are beginning to bear fruit, and the strides made in infrastructure development are paving the way for a brighter future. However, these hard-won gains must not overshadow the pressing issues that still loom large before us. We must prioritize the security of our nation, ensuring that every citizen can walk down any street in this country without fear. The recent surge in insecurity, particularly in various regions, is a clarion call for us to double our efforts in crafting laws and taking decisive actions to safeguard our communities.
As we embark on this new legislative session, I thank all of you for exhibiting a great sense of patriotism and a nationalistic spirit in your work in this chamber. I implore each of you to continue to reflect upon the j of the responsibilities we bear. We are, indeed, the voice of the people—entrusted with the sacred mandate to advocate for their rights and elevate their lives. The challenges we face are formidable, yet we must confront them with unwavering candor and relentless determination. We shall neither retreat nor surrender in our quest to uplift the fortunes of our fellow Nigerians. We must prove ourselves worthy of the trust they have placed in us.
In this spirit of resolve, Iet us pledge that we shall work hand in hand with the Executive branch, ensuring that the fruits of democracy and good governance are not mere ideals, but tangible realities that every Nigerian can experience. We must be tireless in our pursuit of policies that promote economic stability, enhance security, and foster social justice. We must meet the rising tide of cynicism in our land with steadfast resolve, genuine engagement, renewed commitment, and a clear vision for change.
