Political economist, Professor Pat Utomi, has slammed federal lawmakers elected on the platform of the Labour Party, LP, saying he’s not happy with their conduct.
Utomi said the party must show integrity and understanding
of the fact that Nigeria and its democracy are both failing because of the
failure of the political parties.
He spoke in a post on his X handle on Friday.
“We cannot call for a new way and not show example with our
actions. I have been unhappy with many Labour Party Lawmakers conduct. The
Party must show integrity and understanding of the fact that Nigeria and its
democracy are both failing because of the failure of the parties,” he wrote.
The statement followed allegations that 2024 budget was
padded.
Recall that Senator Abdul Ningi, representing Bauchi Central
on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had alleged that N3.7
trillion was padded into the 2024 budget.
Ningi, a lawmaker from Bauchi, was subsequently handed a
three-month suspension for raising the allegation, which the Nigerian
government and the leadership of the Senate denied.
However, Labour Party lawmakers in the National Assembly
have been silent on the matter.
Recall also that Utomi, recently, attacked the opposition
political parties for failing to protest the worsening economic hardship in the
country.
According to him, opposition parties lead protests in other
climes.
