Tinubu has capacity to restore Nigeria’s federal structure – Egoh | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⬇️
In this interview with OBIRE ONAKEMU, Egoh, who is a member of ECOWAS parliament representing Nigeria, spoke on the 2023 election, his performance in the House and the current administration of President Bola Tinubu.The state of the nation is precarious. All patriots like us need to pray for the nation. Normally, when there is an election, there is always issues falling in from anywhere and the case of 2023 election is not too different.
So much that I have achieved. I moved over 70 bills and motions. A major one was that the railway line that terminated in Apapa, Lagos should be extended to the Tin Can Port and Kirikiri up to Ijegun. I moved that motion so that we can address, for once, all the problems that trailers and tankers are causing in Lagos.
Another thing is that goods are imported from Tin-Can Port that move outside Lagos. Once the railway is extended, you just put your goods on railway and move it away. The Federal Government plans to establish a railway line to the South South, from Lagos up to Port Harcourt and Calabar and then to Aba. There is another line that is also going to Kano, Abuja and Maiduguri. When all these are completed, all we do is just move our goods to railway.
I moved a lot of them but for lack of time, we cannot talk about all. It’s unfortunate that I’m not in the 10th Assembly but I’m happy that I have written my name in gold and what I have done is there for all to see. Even if I’m not there, I’m still trying to see what I can do to use my knowledge in the House to see that the motion that had been accepted on the railway is implemented. That is one of the things.
Do you still have the mind of contesting again under the same Amuwo-Odofin Federal Constituency come 2027? This is making it federal because in a federal system, every state takes care of itself and pays tax to the federal, but that hasn’t been done. Now, we have also amended the Railway Act. Every state can now have railway. Don’t forget that there was a time the government in the defunct Western Region wanted to have railways during Obasanjo’s regime and Obasanjo stopped it. I remember that Tinubu was very interested in this project and others.
