Daud Olatunji
In a remarkable display of solidarity and commitment to addressing the nation’s challenges, eight Labour Party lawmakers in Anambra State have voluntarily forfeited their salaries for the next six months.
Responding to the urgent call of their leader, Mr. Peter Obi, regarding the nation’s deteriorating state, the lawmakers issued a communique after an emergency caucus meeting.
The communique advocates a temporary suspension of capital projects, including infrastructure, at both the federal and state levels.
The lawmakers specifically called upon the President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to lead this effort, emphasizing the need for a nationwide declaration of a state of emergency on security and hunger.
Notably, the Labour Party House of Assembly members are not only urging other state governors, including Anambra’s Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, to join this initiative but are leading by example.
They have pledged to forego their basic salaries for the next six months, aiming to contribute directly to alleviating the suffering of the masses during these challenging times.
The lawmakers underscore the seriousness of the situation, highlighting that the campaign and election season are over, and urgent action is required to address the prevalent suffering and loss of lives due to hunger and insecurity.
They appeal to both the Federal and State Governments to heed Mr. Peter Obi’s advice.
In a show of appreciation, the assembly members commend Mr. Peter Gregory Obi for his selfless efforts to ensure the stability and growth of the nation, portraying his dedication to making Nigeria a better place for all citizens.
To the masses, the lawmakers convey a message of hope, emphasizing the virtue of sustaining hope as the currency for a better tomorrow.
PLATFORM TIMES reports that this unprecedented move by the Labour Party House of Assembly members signifies a collective commitment to tackling pressing issues and sets a compelling example for leaders across the nation.
