CIVIL Liberties Organisation, Anambra State, has commended eight members of Anambra State House of Assembly on the platform of Labour Party for their patriotism, selflessness and compassion for donating their six months salary to their respective constituencies in view of current hardship and hyperinflation in country due to subsidy removal, currency devaluation and astrological high cost of living, goods and services.
“They are indeed in tune with excruciating sufferings, hunger, anger, abject poverty in the midst of plenty, unemployment and insecurity ubiquitous in the country.
“This is a clear indication that they bear the interest and welfare of their respective constituencies at heart. They have engraved and etched their names in the hearts and minds of Nigerians through their patriotic and humanitarian dispositions. It is noteworthy that Hon.Fred Ezenwa and Hon. Jude Umennajiego last month fumigated Fegge and Odoakpu to curtail the menace of mosquitos bite and malaria in the communities,” CLO said in a release made available to Realnews at the weekend.
The human rights body said “the only good motives in politics is the motives of doing good for ones country and her citizens which is in tandem with wise decision of the legislators for puting smiles on the faces of their constituencies .We calls on other legislators and political class to emulates them.It is of prime importance to ensure transparent disbursement of the funds to the most vulnerable citizens irrespective of party affiliations.”
Realnews recalls that CLO, had earlier, commended Senators Victor Umeh, Tony Nwoye, Prof. Lilian Orogbo of Awka North and South and Maureen Gwacham of Oyi/Ayamelum Federal constituencies for providing homongous palliatives for their various senatorial zones and constituencies.
“We appeals to other Federal Legislators yet to disburse palliatives from Federal Government to do the needful to help ameliorates the sufferings of the masses.
“We condemned the killing of President General of Umuoji and console family of those who lost their lives at building collapsed at Odu Igbo section of Ochanja Market. We prays to God to accept their souls in paradise and consoles the bereaved”, CLO said.
