ADP Leader Hon. Nnamdi Omeje Applaud Enugu State House of Assembly.

 

As the leader of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) in Enugu State, as one who is very close to the masses, I am compelled to address the newly proposed Enugu State tenancy bill. While the bill's intention may be to regulate the relationship between landlords and tenants, it is imperative that we ensure fairness and protection for all parties involved.

Protecting Tenants' Rights

The current bill, in its present form, imposes an undue burden on tenants. I strongly advocate for the removal of legal fees from tenants, as it is the responsibility of landlords to engage legal representation. Asking tenants to pay legal fees after already paying agency fees is tantamount to extortion. This double payment will only serve to further exploit vulnerable tenants, exacerbating the already precarious living conditions faced by many.



Moreover, I recommend that the bill includes provisions to:

- Regulate agency fees to prevent exorbitant charges

- Establish a clear and transparent process for rent payments and disputes

- Provide adequate notice periods for rent increases and tenancy terminations


Mass Housing for Low-Income Earners

Furthermore, I propose that the Enugu State government prioritizes mass housing projects for low-income earners. This initiative will alleviate the pressure on private homes, providing affordable and decent living conditions for our citizens. By investing in mass housing:

- We can reduce the housing deficit and curb the proliferation of slums

- We can provide a safety net for low-income families, ensuring they have access to secure and affordable housing

- We can stimulate economic growth by creating jobs and stimulating local economies. 

I urge the Enugu State House of Assembly to reconsider the tenancy bill and incorporate provisions that safeguard the interests of tenants. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that our laws promote fairness, justice, and the well-being of all Enugu State residents.

I also call on the Enugu State government to prioritize the welfare of its citizens by investing in mass housing projects and regulating the rental market to prevent exploitation.

Finally, I call on the well meaning and stakeholders to support the bill and the state assembly not to delay in passing the bill for the good of our citizens.

Together, we can create a more just and equitable society for all.


Signed,


Hon. Omeje Nnamdi 


Leader, Action Democratic Party (ADP), Enugu State

DR JOHN NWOKEABIA LAUDS LABOUR PARTY FAITHFUL IN ENUGU STATE.

  The Leader of Labour Party in Enugu West Dr John Okechukwu Nwokebia has Commended the Labour Party faithful over their Conduct in yesterday's Local government Council Election in Enugu State. Gentlemen of the Labor Party, what the PDP and Enugu State Government did in making sure that the ENSIEC LGA elections were not free and fair did not come as a surprise to us.  They made it known through their agents that they were going to write the results of the elections even before the votes were cast. That was why there were no results sheets delivered in any pooling boot in Enugu State.  This was possible because PDP was the judge and the jury in the conduct of their elections. As a result, the will of the people was suppressed, resulting in another setback for Nigeria democracy.  I encourage our labor party members not to be dismayed because the PDP are cowards. It's only a coward who would incidously execute such mayhem against the right of the people with the cover o...

 From Chuks Collins, Abuja ... frown at his misleading petition against PG The lingering local ruffling of leadership feathers in Alor Commonly, Idemili South Council of Anambra State may have assumed a disturbing dimension. And the hitherto traditional ruler of the community, Chief McAnthony Okonkwo who was dethroned by an Anambra High Court few years ago may be arrested in consequence. Okonkwo had petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Force Headquarters against the President General of Alor, Chief  Emma Ojukwu, alleging amongst other things, that the PG has not been respecting or according him due regard as the traditional ruler of Alor. That the PG has not been extending invitations to him for attendance of key meetings/events in the community in his capacity as its traditional ruler. Consequently, a team of twelve heavily armed policemen invaded the Lagos residence of Chief Ojukwu. The sight of this army of armed police officers sent shock waves and intense fears int...
