…says your incessantly illegally pad budgets is slowing down FG good programs
…points face-off with Keyamo as one of such cases
…insists NASS action is portraying Buhari as a toothless anti-corruption crusader
The United Niger Delta Energy Development Security Strategy UNDEDSS has advised the National Assembly to stop using its oversight powers to milk the commonwealth of Nigerians dry.
The group called on all Concerned Nigerians to rise as one and demand that the National Assembly NASS Leadership ceases to prey on the good people of Nigeria by attempting always to use their oversight powers to enrich themselve; incessantly illegally pad budgets; and, slow down well-meaning programs and projects of the Federal Government and its MDAs.
In a Statement signed by its Executive Secretary, Mr. Tony I Uranta TIU, UNDEDSS points to the ongoing brouhaha between the Labour Ministry and the NASS, currently threatening to stifle the well meaning orders of President Buhari to, via the Ministry of Labour, create socio-economic welfare nets reaching directly to the constitutionallly recognized 774,000 Local Government Areas of the country.
The National Assembly NASS is throwing all kinds of spurious spanners in the way Mr. Buhari’s desire to be perceived as an empathetic leader via deflating the economy, no matter for how long, and the UNDEDSS equates this to how the same NASS leadership seem hellbent to scuttle the FGN’s extremely vital program designed to get Covid19 palliatives to the Niger Delta, via the Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC, in these tragic times.
“We see a pattern in the way Keyamo, Akpabio etc are facing campaigns of calumny, which pattern has been in existence since the inception of the largely corrupt 4th Republic”, asserts Mr. Uranta, the NNSG Scribe, “whereby every Ministry, Department and Agency of the FGN has budgets held ransom, until the NASS leadership are allowed to both pad the budgets, and also share out the ‘juicy’ contracts amongst themselves and their proxies!”
Uranta added that, “if this National Assembly is allowed to continue brow beating every body, in an obvious attempt to show up Buhari as a toothless anti-corruption chihuahua, the Niger Delta and others may soon resort to self-help, decide that it time to resort, once again, to mass action, and action by unknown hoodlums such as succeeded in stealing the Senate’s Mace in broad light. We want peace, justice and equity, therefore we may need to resort to unorthodox means”
Enough is enough.
