An Exclusive Interview With Mr Patrick Akhonkhai Giwa, Aspirations & Vision For Owan Federal Constituency

Why are you running for the position of the house of assembly after working as a clerk

It’s good for the youths to take over but they should be ready to accumulate the elders ones who will enable them find their roots in the national assembly.
Those in the chamber are the older ones because they have the patience to see thing through.
Since the youths are clamoring to take over they should be prepared to be serious.
One of my experience with them was when I took them to Abuja for a meeting, they wanted to go shopping and tour instead of focusing on the reason why we came

If you are elected can you move a bill to scrap the wastages in the system that pays people a large sum of money when they don’t work for it

National assembly is where there’s least wastages, infact the government isn’t funding as supposed.
In the national assembly, two Chambers are the best the essence is to balance the issues at hand. if an issue isn’t properly fine tuned the other chamber will fine-tune it before the law comes out we will be sure that this is the best we are getting.so it is still the best.
We advise that Nigeria continues to run this bi cameral legislation.

What bill will you send to the national assembly to curtail the excesses of this menance of killing in the south and east by the fulanis.

I’m doing a research that will improve security in our country and I think that the best approach should be a collective approach where a system will come out with a committee that will investigate the problem of security in our country and find a way to address it.
The most challenging thing about security is that the people that causes insecurity in our country are not Nigerians. many a times people have given testimonies on their encounter with these people and they say the language they speak isn’t the regular Fulani language.
It has been confirmed that these people are not Nigerians.
Nigerians should be able to take it’s country back from these people and to do that it has to be a collective effort. the government, the people and traditional rulers in every nook and cranny of this country should be involved and if we don’t do this as quickly as possible there will be a big problem

What do you have in mind to do for the people in terms of youths and women empowerment, bills and disabled do you have a special bill for them?

I’ll do some research and see some other ways we can support this set of nigerians. i want to add that it’s not the problem of legislation it’s the problem of implementation of our laws. we have laws that can cover every aspect of our national laws but implementing those law is the problem we have. nigerians do not want to obey laws right from the leadership to the last person do not want to obey simple laws.we have made so many amendments to the point that our constitution is now a book but that of America is just a few leafs of paper that tells us that it’s not the constitution but how the people obey the laws
Finally Nigeria is not a united Nigeria. its didvide and we must work to bring it back if we don’t do that it will be late in few years time.
I’ll work on a bill to bring tht unity this bill will address the leadership in nigeria .we like playing ethnicity in politics but if we come out with a process like the swiss due to their peculiarity they have a number of vice presidents and they rotate leadership.we should look at our own situation and see how we can address leadership.my bill will address how leadership and presidency should be rotated in our country.once we achieve this we won’t be fighting on who to govern us when the time for election comes.

Which camp do you belong since your party is divided in Edo state.

I don’t belong to any camp. I’m giving my advice on the need to settle this matter before election.we can’t face election as a divided family but qonce these issues are resolved we are sure we will floor any party that is coming in this party.
