He explained that the state executive and legislature collaborate in ensuring all communities within the state enjoy the dividends of democracy through the provision of basic and social amenities.
Shaibu, who represents Etsako West in the state assembly, spoke during the commissioning of blocks of 3 classrooms in Jattu and Ugiede communities.
The lawmaker, who also hinted of his intention to seek a seat in the Federal House of Representatives, urged the electorate not to be deceived by lawmakers who claimed that the provision of infrastructure was limited to the executive.
Shaibu further urged the people of the state to demand accounts of stewardship from elected officials in the state.
“It is not true that what we do is mainly making laws because before I came into the House, I never knew constituency projects exist.
“Prior to this period, we get N20 million annually. But between 2013 and 2014, the comrade governor had to increase it to N36 million so that we will be able to execute quality projects.
“And I thank God that my own projects are there for everyone to see and other lawmakers must show their constituency projects to the people.
“I challenge the electorates to demand accountability from their representatives because we have one file which the governor approves for the 24 members including the PDP lawmakers.
“Sometimes, my colleagues tackle me when I make public what comes to my constituency. But I don’t think it is something hidden, unless you decide to pocket the money rather than work for the people. This is what I want our people to investigate” he stated.
Meanwhile a member of the Federal House of Representatives and Chairman, House Sub-Committee on Appropriation, Mr. Razak Bello-Osagie, has urged political aspirants for seeking various elective offices in the country to shun “politics of calumy.”
