PDP'S HON OGHENE EMMA EGOH'S CAMPAIGN PROMISES - NOT ONE FULFILLED AFTER ONE YEAR?

Posted by on
Written by U. D. Okechukwu
The few weeks to the February 2015 elections was known by all to be a desperate political period where politicians could do and say and act the impossible to clinch one thumb on the ballot paper.
The PDP Candidate for the Federal House of Representatives for Amuwo Odofin Constituency, Hon. Oghene Emma Egoh was one of the many aspirants of that fierce political period where APC aspirants lost some technical positions to few PDP aspirants in Lagos state and Abuja. The Hon. made several powerful promises to the people of his constituency while aspiring for the position. 

Exactly one year and few weeks after his inauguration as the Federal Constituency Leader for Amuwo Odofin, residents of his constituency are yet to witness less than 20 percent of his promises fulfilled. Below are many of his campaign promises that he made to the people which a resident clearly stated -  "he has forgotten all because he is now in Abuja";

"Vote for me, I am your best choice to renew and improve the decayed infrastructure, roads, water drainage, sewage, health care, education and recreation grounds for youths in Amuwo Odofin area, Festac town, Satellite town, Navy town, Festac extension, which are federal areas and also Agboju, Mile2, Jakande estate, Ijegun, Oluti, Mazamaza, Kirikiri town, Abule ado, Ibeshe, Ibasa, Igbologun, Ikare, Irede, Onikere, Gujere, Abule-osu etc.   

I will reduce university school fees  -  fight for rights of indigent students to scholarship and bursary and also support construction of low cost houses for our federal constituency. 

I will support education and challenge corruption.

I will support our traders and business people in ASPAMDA Trade fair.

I will support youth in sporting activities. 

I will vigorously provide empowerment for men who want to have Keke-Napep, Okada, Contract etc. 

I will promote women empowerment to obtain financial aid to trade and support their children. 

I will support market women and promote youth employment. 

I will provide water through boreholes and establish health centers. 

I will introduce and support legislative bills that will improve electricity generation and distribution. 

I will de-congest the traffic in Festac 3rd gate by ensuring that the road is expanded" The enchanting empiricist Hon. Emma Egoh uttered while campaigning.

As a matter of fact, Dillion road in Kirikiri town happens to be the worst road in Amuwo Odofin and this is a federal road that was campaigned about. Igbologun has not had electricity for over 6 years, this was mentioned also in your campaign, Health care issues has not even come to light, 66 percent mentioned infrastructures during campaign remains decayed in Amuwo-Odofin.

Except there is another constituency leader over Barracks, Tedi village, Soba town, Aloro and other riverrine areas etc, these places were omitted.

Every one in PMB's administration supports corruption and the word support shows no total commitment especially when you support business people in ASPAMDA. 

There is no university sighted in Amuwo Odofin area - There has not been any public enlightenment on scholarships or support of low cost housing or any establishment of boreholes and health centers in the Amuwo Odofin Constituency.

Bills concerning introduction to improve electricity generation and distribution only led to an increase in tariff, crazy bills and constant black-outs. The Festac third gate hasn't been expanded yet.

Well, since there was a public campaign filled with several mouth watering promises for the entire people of Amuwo Odofin, on the other hand, there should also be a public show of any single fulfilled promise. There should be press presence in every project. The people have to be aware of every constituency achievements.

However,  while holding Hon. Egoh accountable according to franchised votes and votes of capability confidence, residents of all the above mentioned and non-mentioned communities within your constituency ask this question in one accord;

"WHEN WILL YOU FULFILL JUST ONE OF YOUR CAMPAIGN PROMISES THAT YOU MADE TO US LAST YEAR, WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY YET?"

CAN GARDENING IMPROVE THE NATIONS HEALTH? - BY HELEN BRIGGS

Amanda Miller has her hands in the soil as she builds a garden in the grounds of Hampton Court Palace. Crouched on a bank beside a stream, she is putting the final touches to a garden that attempts to convey the solitude of depression. Her creation is one of several at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show exploring links between health and horticulture. "The one I've focused on is depression because I have family members and friends who have suffered from it," she says. "Rather than being inspired to do it, I was compelled to do it."

FG SET TO BAN SALE OF ALCOHOL IN SMALL BOTTLES AND SACHET - SEE WHY

The Federal Government has issued directives targeted at phasing out the sale and consumption of alcohol in sachets and polyethylene terephthalate, PET, bottles. The goal is to reduce availability and curb abuse. Effective January 31 2021, producers of alcohol in sachets and small bottles are to reduce production by 50 per cent of capacity prior to January 2020. Mojisola Adeyeye, director-general of the National Agency for Foods and Drugs Administration and Control, NAFDAC, disclosed this in a statement. Adeyeye said uncontrolled access and availability of high concentration alcohol in sachet and small volume PET or glass bottles contribute to substance and alcohol abuse in Nigeria.

She said the food agency will no longer register new products in sachet and small volume PET or glass bottles with contents above 30 percent alcohol by volume (ABV). “These concerns relate t...

KIRIKIRI TOWN RESIDENTS SPEAK WITH REPORTER ON NEIGHBOR ISSUES

When you hear Kirikiri, you think prison; but there is more to the sprawling community tucked in between Apapa and a Lagos Lagoon tributary. Residents share their experience with Gboyega Alaka IT was Nyma Akashat-Zibiri, co-host of TVC’s popular breakfast show, Your View, who not too long ago, described the road leading to Kirikiri Town, the small community that plays host to Nigeria’s most ‘popular’ prison, as totally neglected and a sample of the neglect and squalour that may exist in the prison itself. Nyma was responding to a hot topic on the decrepit state of the prisons and dehumanising condition the inmates have to put up with. This was therefore the first thing this reporter paid attention to, as he negotiated his way over the Berger/Kirikiri Flyover towards the sprawling community. One could say the town is divided into three parts, with the prisons yard taking a huge chunk. The prison houses the Minimum Prison, the Female prison and the Maximum prison. Naturally...

WHAT A HUSBAND NEEDS FROM A WIFE IS NEVER SEX - BY ANYIA GLORIA

Sex is an important element in marriage and until there is sexual intercourse between a husband and a wife, the marriage is not yet spiritually recognized. This shows how important sex is in marriage. When you look at how aggressive men are towards sex you may think that what a man needs from a woman is sex. Of course, if he has not married you yet or he does not really intend to marry you what he will need from you is nothing above your body. But if he really intends to marry you or if you guys are already married sex is never what he needs from you - maybe let me say it better; "WHAT A MAN NEEDS MOST FROM A WOMAN IS NOT SEX." Many young girls think because they are sexually active and experience they will easily be married and have their husbands loving them. And when a man approaches for marriage they think the greatest asset they have to show the man is sex. Others also think once they are giving out their bodies it means they are giving ou...

The Taliban has declared the war in Afghanistan over after taking control of the presidential palace in Kabul as Western countries scrambled on Monday to evacuate their citizens amid chaos at the airport as frantic Afghans searched for a way out. President Ashraf Ghani fled the country on Sunday as the Islamist militants entered the capital virtually unopposed. He said he wanted to avoid bloodshed while hundreds of desperate Afghans flooded Kabul airport. “Today is a great day for the Afghan people and the mujahideen.
