The Leader of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Hon. Ikechukwu Ezugwu, on Monday, responded to the public outcry which has trailed the amendment bill seeking pension for ex-governors and their deputies.
It was reported that the bill, which scaled first reading last week has been met with backlash from residents and beyond.
Addressing the public concerns, Ezugwu in a statement he personally signed said the House would do the needful by the next plenary in response to the yearnings of the people.
He said though the bill was in accordance with the constitutional mandate of the House, it would not do anything that would work against the desire and wish of the people.
“Enugu State House of Assembly remains committed to the discharge of its duties. The House is also sensitive to the feelings of our people and therefore appreciates the feedback and reactions from our Constituents and the public. This is the beauty of democracy and as representatives, we will not disappoint our people.
“The Enugu State of Assembly, therefore, assures our people that the House will follow due process and do the needful during the next plenary,” Ezugwu stated.
