Aspirant calls for bi-camera legislature

Published by The Nation on Sat, 25 Oct 2014


The All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives aspirant, Toyin Balogun, has said Nigerian laws often discriminate against the youth.He called for better laws that will allow them to realise their potentials.Speaking to reporters after obtaining his letter of intent at the APC secretariat, Acme Road, Ogba, he said that the youths are the future of the country and their voice must be heard in the democratic dispensation.He added that the country has fared better under a bicameral assembly, noting that it is the best for the country.He said: If you cast your mind to the happenings in the country and how the two chambers tackled some of the issues, you will realise that only a bicameral assembly is healthy for the country.When President Jonathan removed the oil subsidy some years back, it took the courage of the House of Representatives to save Nigerians. When the Senate accepted the subsidy removal, the House of Representatives refused.The aspirant said that, if all the laws are made by a single assembly, the country will suffer, noting that it would lead to impunity and tyranny.He explained that he is contesting for the Kosofe Federal Constituency to give the youth a voice in the country, stressing that most of the laws being made in the country have not placed the youths in better perspectives.At every moment in our lives, there is time to take decision; I have decided to obey the calls of my people to represent them at the National Assembly.The future of Nigerian youths has been compromised in many ways. They are the energy bank of any society but in this case the laws have gagged them into being used and dumped.Our people deserve better condition that can guarantee their subsistence, which can create opportunities for them to become what they want to be because the country is richly blessed, he said.Also speaking, a chieftain of the APC, Olu Adediwura, said Balogun is a great mibiliser.He said: Kosofe Federal Constituency is calling on him to resprest us at the National Assembly. His records speak volume for him. We are really impressed with his conduct and we know he can serve us better at that capacity.]]>
