Following the current economic hardship in Nigeria, the members of the Labour Party in the Anambra State House of Assembly have pledged to forfeit their salary for six months, to alleviate the suffering of the masses.
The State LP lawmakers in a communique signed by Hon. Nkechi Ogbuefi, Comrade Henry Mbachu, Hon. Jude Ifeanyi Umen Najiego, Hon. Fred Ezenwa, Hon. Kingsley Udemezue, Hon. Justice Azuka, Hon. Paul Obu, and Hon. Patrick Okafor, advocated for the suspension of all non-essential activities, particularly infrastructure projects, for the next six months.
The statement partly read: “His Excellency, Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu should suspend work on all other sectors including infrastructure for the next six months and declare a state of emergency on security and hunger in the nation.
“We, the Labour Party House of Assembly members will relinquish our basic salary for six months to be our contribution to alleviate the suffering of the masses.
“We must commend our leader His Excellency Mr. Peter Gregory Obi for this selfless effort to ensure the stability and growth of our Nation. It really shows that he is committed to making this nation a better place for all of us”
