Use Offot Community neglect: Let it be seen, heard and known:
Government at all levels in a democratic setting is expected to deliver dividends of democracy to it’s citizenry in a bid to improve their living conditions.
In view of the above, Use Offot community cannot boldly boast of one dividend of democracy it has ever enjoyed since the inception of democracy in 1999.
Use Offot community, having always been very supportive of every incoming government since 1999 has outrightly been cheated as every incoming government forgets or abandons the community after elections.
Let it be known that since 1999 till date, Use Offot Community have always been supporting the ruling party and there has not been a time where the community’s loyalty to the ruling party has ever been quizzed.
Since 1999, every incoming governor, house member, chairman and councillor can not point at one dividend of democracy they have individually brought to the community and it makes me begin to ponder why the community still pays unalloyed loyalty to the ruling party even at the detriment of the community.
Individual political appointments are appreciated but are not just enough as it does not solve the need for basic amenities.
Now, we are about to place a new Chairman for Uyo LGA, and councillor for ward 9 which covers Use Offot community, I do hope these new sets of leaders will bring the much needed dividends of democracy to our community because we have been forgotten for too long.
On this note, I will love to inform the incoming chairman of Uyo LGA and the councillor for ward 9 that we will hold them accountable should we not enjoy the basic dividends of democracy in Use Offot community.
