NDOKWA WEST / UKWANI L G A POLITICIANS SHOULD EMULATE NDOKWA EAST POLITICIANS- Snr Comrade Richkay Enuenwosu.
Its not targeting to condemn our local government but I think what some of Ndokwa East political leaders are doing worth emulating.
Rather than driving your minds to Rt Hon Friday’s Empowerment as act to emulate, I sincerely want to opin that our Political Leaders in Ndokwa West and Ukwani LGA should copy the attitude of meeting regularly with people they’re representing.
If the people don’t know how much you’re representing them, misconceptions will fall in and attack on your representation will be the order of the day.
I really wonder why leaders from these LGA do not see the need to meet with their people.
Its only through this medium we can ACCESS THE POSITIVITIES OF your leadership, and have the opportunity to ASK AND COMMEND your efforts.
Example is my community Abbi where we have up to Six people representing us in LGA level and ever since their coming into various positions they had in no time briefed their people in a town hall meeting. I used my community as example because the error is quite happening there. And this is also happening to many other communities.
If Ndokwa nation continues like this then there’s no future for these our political leaders who only mind the ceremonies aspect of governance.
We must learn from Rt Hon Friday Osanebi who regularly briefs his constituent. What about Ndokwa West/Ukwani LGA House Of Assembly Representatives? WHERE ARE THEY DOING THEIR BRIEFING?
See the Ndokwa East Chairman had set up a monthly meeting with the traditional rulers in her local government. This will make her governance more transparent and free from misconception.
I call on all our Leaders to start sponsoring and getting the briefing on time.
PLEASE LEADERS TELL US HOW FAR YOU’RE LEADING US- We want to Know
