LAGOS AUGUST 8TH (URHOBOTODAY)-Delta state legislators have come under attack for ‘boot licking and over subservient’ to the executive arm of government in the state.
A chieftain of the Social Democratic Party in the state, Hon. Edemanya Felix, carpeted the House while speaking to our reporter in Kwale in the state.
The politician noted that what is currently going on in the state is nothing but a parody of democracy. ‘The legislators in Delta state have abandoned their primary responsibilities of law making and oversight functions to become stooges of the executive’, he remarked.
Hon. Edemanya also took a swipe at the Speaker of the House, Hon. Monday Igbuya for his leadership style in the House.
‘ I must say that this current House of Assembly is an embarrassment to the entire Deltans. I learnt the other day that the Speaker has already endorsed Governor Okowa for second term. How can a leader of a legislative arm of government debase the arm of government to that extent?
He noted that except something is done, and urgently too, the legislative arm of government in the state would be completely swallowed in the state.
Also, a leader of the party in the community, Comrade Ikwuobodo Augustine, remarked that the days of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ndokwa nation are numbered. He said the Social Democratic Party (SDP) is ready to uproot the PDP from the area due to poor representation and non performance.
He described the PDP as a dying party trying to survive by any means.
Speaking in the same vein, the SDP chairman in Ndokwa East LGA of Delta state, Ogbuefi Emmanuel Ejeh disclosed that the strength of the SDP in Ndokwa cannot be matched by either the PDP or the APC, adding that future elections would attest to that.
