In a bold and passionate plea, Hon. Obi Nweke, the representative of Anambra East Constituency in the State House of Assembly has called upon the federal government to address the pressing issues of hunger, insecurity, high inflation, and food insecurity that currently plague the nation.
Nweke’s concern stems from the overwhelming poverty and rampant insecurity that have permeated the country due to the unfavorable economic policies and programs of President Bola Tibubu’s administration.
The lawmaker emphasizes the urgency of implementing comprehensive economic policies that directly benefit the majority of Nigerians rather than just a privileged few. He firmly believes that a more inclusive approach will ultimately lead to the improvement of citizens’ living conditions and alleviate the current suffering.
Recognizing the people’s constitutional right to peaceful protest, Nweke urges the government to not respond with hostility to the upcoming nationwide hunger protest. He advocates for the protesters to express their grievances peacefully and in accordance with the law, underscoring the importance of respecting citizens’ fundamental rights.
Nweke also takes the opportunity to commend Governor Chukwuma Soludo for his administration’s commendable efforts in implementing youth empowerment policies and programs in Anambra State. These initiatives have empowered Anambra youths to become self-reliant and employers of labor, making a significant difference in their lives.
As the representative of Anambra East Constituency, Nweke reaffirms his commitment to delivering the dividends of democracy to his constituents. He vows to continue working towards a safe, progressive, and liveable Anambra East.
This passionate call to action by Hon. Obi Nweke serves as a reminder to the federal government of its responsibility to address the pressing issues affecting the lives of Nigerians. The urgent need to tackle hunger, insecurity, high inflation, and food insecurity requires a concerted effort from the government to ensure the well-being and prosperity of its citizens.
