PROF SEN IKE EKWEREMADU, AN EXTRAORDINARY LEGISLATURE.
By: Author Tim Joe
In Nigeria, there are three tiers of government (Executive, Legislature, and the Judiciary) each is mandated with particular functions.
1. *THE EXECUTIVE*:
The president, Governor, Minister, etc.
They implement and enforce the law.
2. *THE LEGISLATURE.*
Senators, House of Rep members at all levels.
The law-making bodies and oversight functions.
3. *THE JUDICIARY*
Supreme Court Judges, etc.
They interpret and punish the law offenders.
Going with this explanation, it's clear that the executive is superior among them as he has nearly every machinery under his control.
But as our elders would say: When a child begins to work as an adult, people will misunderstand him that they tend to forget he is a child and takes him as an adult.
In Enugu state, the name Prof Sen Ike Ekweremadu is seen more like an executive due to his developmental projects across his constituency and beyond, which only an executive can be said to achieve.
Prof Sen Ekweremadu has set a developmental pace in his zone that no Senator has ever done, hence the reason why people compared him to a governor rather than a Senator knowing full well that no Senator can match him in development.
One of the Sen Ekweremadu's road network connection is the highest to be done by a legislature in Nigeria. The road that crosses over 8 community starting from the: Old 4 Corner - Agbogugu - Ihe- Owelle- Amoli- Ugbo- Ogugu- Nnewe- Oduma- Mpu- down to Nume (Nkanu land).
Sen Ekweremadu has a foundation that has helped/helping the students graduate from their higher institutions.
Prof has adult education programs for his constituency, empowerment programs, widows annual programs, and so on.
Seeing all these works from Sen Ekweremadu made some misinterpret his work where his colleagues are and therefore sees him as an executive and beckons on him at every point in time, which he never fails to interven.
The kind of developmental projects in Sen Ike Ekweremadu's constituency with its courtesy to him, can only be seen in only some governors constituency with its regards to them.
No wonder, the continues clamoring for him by our state to come and govern them come 2023.
Indeed, Sen Ike Ekweremadu is a pacesetter and transformer, the developmental pace he has set in his constituency, his experienced leadership qualities been certified by both the local and international communities, is what the good people of Enugu wants to enjoy.
As no other Senator of the federal republic of Nigeria can match him in development now, so will no governor will match him.
Long live our leader.
