Chairman of House of Representatives Committee on Defence, Hon. Babajimi Benson, in this interview withspeaks on people’s expectations from the incoming 10th National Assembly, decision of the federal government to remove petrol subsidy, among other issues. Excerpts:
Not just the federal government of Nigeria, I think some states and local government also need to be blamed for that, because states are sub national they need to take care of subjects within them, local government too. So you find out that some local governments don’t even have government presence. Space will fight cyber, so that way you are more precise you can deploy your logistics and resources in a more accurate manner.
We are trying to pass the armed forces support fund, it’s in the Senate for concurrence. We had a security summit that brought in all the key stakeholders, the resolution of the summit are very profound, a lot of it were not implemented by the former administration, we hope that the new administration will have a look into it.
A lot of farmers can’t go back to work due to insecurity challenges. Ensure we give them adequate security to enable them go back, I also believe that fertilizer should be something they can easily get because when there is prosperity when they see their yields go phenomenal they get happy and that keeps everyone busy, it ensures that people are also gainfully employed, and when there is food security Nigeria will be safer, that’s one aspect.
So I’m sure in the next couple of days, we would see traction towards them walking their talk. I believe north central did extremely well during the election. Better than we thought, we won Benue, which is remarkable. I believe they are brothers and friends and Nigeria will compensate them for their support and in time they will not regret voting for the All Progressive Congress.I do not think that’s the true position of things.
The incoming 10th assembly will be the most diverse in history, with so many new lawmakers, experienced ones lost their re-election bid, don’t you think it will affect the quality of leadership?
