An Action Alliance candidate for the Afikpo North/West constituency for the Ebonyi State House of Assembly in the 2023 election, John-Prince Osmek, has said Nigeria is not ripe for a part-time legislature as currently being canvased by some citizens.
According to him, Nigerians should rather clamour for competent legislators who know what leadership and representation entail, adding that “anything that is part-time will have part-time result.”
He said, “It depends on the reason why people are clamouring for a part-time legislature. But as far as I’m concerned, anything that’s part-time will have part-time result. “When you say part-time, it means people will definitely engage themselves in their various fields of endeavours and come back once or twice a week to make laws for the people. When people have not committed their 100 per cent to a process that will take care of or govern how people live, whatever input they make will be in a haste. And remember rashness in any undertaking is disastrous.
He equally lamented the current alleged deteriorating state of the Ebonyi State University and called on Governor David Umahi to, as a matter of urgency, expedite action towards restoring the past academic excellence of the institution.reports that EBSU currently faces existential threat as lecturers presently leave the institutions for others around and overseas in droves in search for better working conditions.
