A House of Representatives member for Isuikwuato/Umunneochi constituency in the 10th National Assembly, Hon. Amobi Ogah has cried bitterly over 10 Billion Naira mapped out for the Oil Sector.
IGBERE TV reports that the Ministry of Petroleum Resources’ budget defense session witnessed a poignant revelation as Hon. Ogah openly expressed his heartfelt distress and disappointment for the state of the nation.
Ogah, a prominent figure in the assembly, declared, “My heart is bleeding, and I feel pain in my heart for this country.”
With genuine concern for the critical issues facing the nation, Ogah posed a pointed question to the honorable minister, challenging the proposed budget’s allocation of over 10 billion to the oil sector. In the midst of non-functioning refineries, he questioned the nation’s strategic plan for their restoration, expressing a sense of urgency and despair.
“The budget of over 10 billion for the oil sector, where refineries are not working, what is our hope? Does it mean that we don’t have a plan for our refineries to function?” Ogah’s words echoed the sentiments of many Nigerians grappling with the challenges in the oil and gas sector.
In a plea to the honorable minister, Ogah implored a reconsideration of the presented documents, emphasizing the high expectations of the Nigerian people. “Honorable minister, please, these documents need to be retrieved because Nigerians are expecting more than this. The campaign of renewed hope is not the hope we’re looking for. Retrieve this document and take decisive action to ensure our refineries are restored and operational.”
Amidst the budget defense proceedings, Honorable Amobi Ogah’s impassioned plea echoes the collective concerns for the future of the nation’s oil and gas sector, emphasizing the need for substantive measures to address the critical issues at hand.
Meanwhile, the Court of Appeal in Lagos has recently affirmed the election victory of Amobi Ogah of the Labour Party (LP) as the lawmaker representing Isuikwuato/Umunneochi federal constituency in Abia state.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Ogah as the winner with a total of 11,769 votes, while Nkiruka Onyejeocha of the All Progressives Congress (APC) secured second place with 8,752 votes. On Friday, November 3, the appellate court ruled in favor of Ogah, solidifying his victory in the election contested under the Labour Party banner.
