Ndokwa Group Flays Call For Recall Of Reps. Member

ABUJA/Nigeria: A pan Ndokwa social cultural organisations, Movement for the Emancipation of Ndokwa Nation MEN, has described as rideculous, childish, absurd and selfish a purported statement for the recall of Hon. Ossai Nicholas Ossai by a faceless group with the name Ndokwa Think Tank Assembly (NTTA).

A press statement signed by Mr. Achi Andrew and Onwugbenu Francis, the president and publicity secretary respectively of MEN, said the statement calling for recall of Hon. Ossai by NTTA does not represent the true position of Ndokwa nation since it is not a registered organization nor reflects the yearning of Ndokwa nation.

According to MEN, “Hon. Ossai N. Ossai has given a good account of himself in the house of Representatives having promoted over 50 bills and out of which 12 have been signed to law. How can you recall a man who have contributed immensely in the empowerment of his constituent.

“Just last week, the Hon. Ossai empowered no fewer than 600 persons in the three LGAs of Ndokwa, Ukwuani Federal Constituency. You can see that this so call recall process was handiwork of political detractors who are polluted by malice, selfish and deceit.

“We therefore urged all Ndokwa sons and daughters to disregard the press statement by NTTA calling for a recall of our representative. Let us place on record that the Ndokwa people have never met or contemplated move to recall Representative Ossai. NTTA is not known and can not speak for Ndokwa nation.”

Hon. Dr Ossai-Ossai otherwise known as the ‘Bill Process Machine’ is a leading HoR member with the highest number of bills sponsored, processed, passed into law and assented to by the President.

Ossai N. Ossai has over 50 legislation/bills to his credit in the 8th Assembly alone, this is unprecedented in the history of Ndokwa Nation and arguably in Nigeria.

In December 2017, the President Buhari APC led government honoured Hon. Ossai Ossai with the National Merit Impact Award for sponsoring and facilitating legislation that helped Nigeria move 24 points in the Ease of Doing Business Ranking in the world.

The Award was presented to Hon. Ossai Ossai by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on behalf of the President on 11th December 2017. This is significant, this is capacity, this is influence! It brought pride to Ndokwa nation and inspired young dreamers that Ndokwa nation provides leadership and has the best.

The National Assembly Press Corp Association (HOR) honoured Hon. Ossai Ossai with the National Assembly ‘Representative of the Year Award for 2017/2018.

The Press Corp is a well known aggressive watchdog of the parliament and could be said to have better knowledge of how members perform in the floor of the house and outside. By this award, the Hon. Ossai became the first Ndokwa son to win such award as a result of his quality representation and vibrancy in championing the cause of Ndokwa nation and Nigeria at large.
