Mmamdi Chukwu
LABOUR Party (LP) caucus members in the Anambra State House of Assembly have forfeited their basic salaries for six months as their contribution to alleviating the suffering of the masses.
The caucus members have also urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to suspend work on all other sectors including infrastructure for the next six months and declare a state of emergency on security and hunger in the nation.
The caucus in a communique issued after its meeting today said its recommendation is in sync with the cry of their Leader, Mr. Peter Obi on the state of the nation.
The lawmakers also said the same recommendation is applicable to all state governors “including our dear governor Prof. Charles Chukwumna Soludo to suspend all infrastructural development in their various states for the next six months and declare a state of emergency on security and hunger”.
“In conclusion, we all know that the campaign is over and election is over. Majority of Nigerians are suffering. People are dying every day as a result of hunger and insecurity.
“Thus, there is a need for the federal government and state governments to adhere to the advice given by our leader Mr Peter Obi.
“We must commend our leader His Excellency Mr. Peter Gregory Obi for this selfless effort to ensure the stability and growth of our nation. It really shows that he is committed to making this nation a better place for all of us”, the lawmakers stated.
