Delta House of Assembly, A Mere Rubber Stamp Says SDP Chieftain

From Ochei Matthew, Asaba
The 5th Assemble of Delta state has come under attack for alleged boot-licking and subserviency to the executive arm of government in the state.
A chieftain of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the state, Hon. Edemanya Felix, carpeted the House while speaking with The Dream Daily in Kwale, Delta state.
The astute 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.”
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,” Edemanya queried.
He noted that “except something is done urgently, the legislative arm of government in the state would be completely swallowed up by the executive.”
Also, a leader of the SDP in the community, Comrade Ikwuobodo Augustine, remarked that the days of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ndokwa nation are numbered. He said the Social Democratic Party (SDP) was ready to uproot the PDP from the area due to poor representation and non-performance.
He 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.
