Anambra Labour Party Lawmakers Forego Six Months Salaries to Tackle Economic Challenges

In a remarkable display of solidarity and empathy, at least eight lawmakers from the Labour Party in the Anambra State House of Assembly have voluntarily opted to forgo their salaries for six months to address the prevailing economic hardships faced by citizens. The decision, made during an emergency meeting of the party on Thursday, underscores the legislators' commitment to alleviating the plight of the populace amidst pressing socio-economic concerns.

In a joint statement issued following the meeting, the Labour Party lawmakers echoed the sentiments expressed by their leader, His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi, regarding the nation's dire economic situation. The statement called upon President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and other governors, including Anambra State's Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, to prioritize urgent action on security and hunger by temporarily suspending non-essential economic activities, including infrastructure development.

Expressing solidarity with Mr. Obi's advocacy for national stability and progress, the lawmakers emphasized their resolve to contribute to the welfare of the masses by relinquishing their salaries for six months. This gesture, they affirmed, reflects their dedication to fulfilling their mandate as representatives and their commitment to advancing the well-being of all citizens.

The lawmakers who pledged their support to this initiative include Nkechi Ogbuefi, Henry Mbachu, Jude Ifeanyi Umennajiego, Fred Ezenwa, Justice Azuka, Paul Obu, and Patrick Okafor. Their collective action exemplifies a bipartisan effort to address pressing socio-economic challenges and underscores the importance of solidarity and sacrifice in times of crisis.

As the nation grapples with multifaceted challenges, including insecurity and economic downturn, the decision of these lawmakers serves as a poignant reminder of the essential role that public servants can play in fostering unity and resilience. Their selfless gesture not only symbolizes a commitment to the principles of social justice and equality but also sets a commendable example for leadership at all levels of government.
