I have some pertinent issues and questions for Senator Abba Moro over his overzealous, mischievous and busy-body Senate outing over the issue setting up of local governments caretakers in Benue State:
1. As a Benue senator from Zone C,why did he not raise a motion against former governor Samuel Ortom when Ortom constituted local government caretakers under his tenure as Governor of Benue State?? Was Senator Abba Moro not in the Senate??
2. Why did Senator Abba Moro not raise any senate motion against former Governor Samuel Ortom when Ortom removed from office most of the local government chairmen who disagreed and refused to join him in moving to the PDP ??
3. It is mischievous for Senator Abba Moro to rise up to defend PDP chairmen who were indicted and invited by the Benue State House of Assembly to come and explain how the money/finances in their custody was used,but who all rather ran away,only to go and file a case at the National Industrial Court to get injunction against the Benue State House of Assembly and the Benue State Government!!
4. Senator Abba Moro should know that the Nigerian constitution which provides and guarantees the creation of local government as autonomous tier of government,the same constitution also empowers State Houses of Assembly to determine issues of creation,composition,tenure,functions and control of the activities of local governments in Nigeria. To this end,the call by Senator Abba Moro in the senate over the issue of local government caretakers ship appears to be maliciously hasty,poorly thought about and does not represent the wishes of the good people of Benue State.
5. By the way, as far as I am concerned, what I believe is that the processes that brought those so called PDP chairmen into office was not democratic but a selection of persons by the then ruling PDP government who asked to govern local government areas strictly for the interest of PDP.
6. Above all,the PDP chairmen are not dissolved. They are suspended!
