In celebration of New year, The Deputy National Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) Prince Nwaeze Onu, has greeted Ebonyians and indeed all Nigerians
Prince Onu in his New Year message urged Nigerians to be hopeful as the only gateway to overcome the hardship in the country saying that the new year will bring resurgence. He called for unity as that according to him is the panacea for progress.
Speaking on the governance in the country, Pince Onu said the government of the day have to reverse some of her policies to make positive impact on Nigerians and offer them hope to succeed in their endeavors.
“The President has to urgently halt the tax reform bill before the National assembly considering the precarious state of the economy today and how people pay through their nose for daily bread. The tax reform bill should be dropped and let they be wider consultation of the stakeholders”
He condemned attempt by the All Progressive Congress(APC) controlled federal government to stifle opposition political parties in the country mentioning that it is not healthy for democracy stressing for any ruling government to succeed, it needs a viable opposition to checkmate her policies and make valuable recommendations.
The NNPP chieftain appealed to the Ebonyi state Governor, Rt Hon Ogbonna Nwifuru to work on sustaining a functional educational system as the foundation has been led by previous administrations and should as well deploy modern approaches to governance so that his policies can be far reaching and impactful on the lives of citizens of the state.
“There’s need to reduce cost of governance in the state, the funds coming into the state from the federation account has improved. Instead of channeling it in the purchase of exotic vehicles, it should be used to sustain a functional educational system like the Dr sam Egwu’s administration did”
