Former chairman of IPAC and current state chairman of Young Progressives Party, YPP, Anthony Bissong Attah has said any issues and development brought before lawmakers in the Cross River State House of Assembly are politically motivated
Attah spoke in an exclusive interview with Newspot over the alleged removal of Cyril Omini, legislator representing Yakurr 1 state constituency yesterday during their plenary session.
Omini was reportedly replaced by former commissioner for agriculture, Okon Owuna, now representing Akamkpa 1 state constituency.
Although the Assembly did not come out openly to explain why they Cyril Omini was relieved of his position as chairman of the House Committee on finance and appropriation, the move lends credence to the strongly held position that he may not be disposed to persuasions to work for a particular politician being prepared for the Senate in 2027
Reacting, the opposition leader in the state said, the law makers are self centered, and not free to act independently.
According to him, lawmakers in the state are all serving the governor’s political interests.
“The House of Assembly is hardly considered independent.
“I see any development there as largely politically motivated, self aggrandizing, and, to a large extent, serving the interest of the governor.
They are not serving the citizens of Cross River State.”
