Social responsibility in a democracy is predicated on the basic assumption that the man on whom a mandate is vested is endowed with a communal voice.
Therefore, the tissues of his work and actions pulsate with an energy that is public in origin. He addresses himself to the problems, issues and challenges that engage his own people.
If a true democrat is one who responds or yields to society’s demand on him, making such demands to define the nature of his actions and activities, then Senator Isah Jibrin (Echocho) is a role model in democratic consciousness.
Below is a compendium of Senator Isah Jibrin (Echocho) less than 3years projects and interventions.
Hon. Hillary was on air to tell us how the past Lawmakers embezzled our constituency funds before Echocho came on board.
If you check round the whole Kogi East, none of these past senators have a standing legacy on ground, you can prove wrong by pointing to one.
Check the achievement of Echocho Local Government by Local Government and see that Echocho deserves re-election.
