AKPABIO, CONSOLIDATING THE NUISANCE OF TINUBU'S 'PADDY PADDY' GOVERNMENT
Godswill Akpabio is turning out to be the most irresponsible Nigeria's Senate President. He has successfully turned the Senate to a theatre/cinema house. He talks and acts like a drunken sailor.
Nigeria will have to live with these pains for another four years if not eight years of drama and hardships. I am pained to see deliberations of the new film actor, Godswill Akpabio and his colleagues.
Nigerians should be ready to bear the pains of this President Bola Tinubu administration that has undermined leadership at all levels of governance.
Some people would say the administration is new and too early to complain. All of them, Presidency and the National Assembly, have started badly including state governors.
I hear monthly allocations have increased due to removal of subsidy but it will all go to pockets of politicians. The politicians are in jubilation because they now have more money to loot for selves, families and hangers-on.
More roads are collapsing, electricity supply poorer. Prices of food items are rising. Transportation costs are rising. Nigerians are trekking more than before with shoes getting worn out.
Hunger and poverty are increasing, workers and petty traders finding it difficult to get to sustain selves.
Akpabio to cover his shame on his 'token paid to your accounts' declaration said a prayer was sent to individual Senators by the Clerk of the National Assembly, meaning money has been paid into their accounts for their time off duty.
I don't know when the Clerk has been turned into a Pastor or Imam for him to be sending prayers to Senators. Who is Akpabio fooling? He is fooling self and co-senators.
This 'chop I chop' mentality among officeholders is also resonating in the states. Across the nation, the legislative arm of government is getting more and more rubber-stamp, pandering to every wish of the state governors in return for Akpabio kind of 'token' into lawmakers' accounts.
That is why in Delta State, Governor Sheriff has the boldness to be lobbying to host more international sports tournaments that will add no economic value to the state.
He knows the Delta Assembly will not say no when he comes asking for approval to borrow to host AFCON soccer fiesta, one of the conduits he will use, like his godfather and predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa, to plunder the state's treasury.
