Offices of Deputy Governor..

 A DEEP PEEP AT THE OFFICE OF DEPUTY GOVERNOR by SAGG.


Happy Good Friday for those of us na Eje Church and TGIF (Thank God It is Friday) to others, I come this morning with my Eyes on the cross and my mind on the Political bondage laden over states and Nation, but this Morning I will be talking about office of Deputy Governor, the most despised elected office in history of Nigerian Democracy.


Most places office of the Deputy Governor is just an Errand position that is far lower than SA, especially in Anambara state of today.


I can't tell if it is because the current Holder is a Gentleman or because he is from Enugwu Ukwu or because of his Denominational preference or because when he step on an ANT the ant will turn and ask onyekwa na akom oko na Azu.


Unless the Constitution  define the duties of Deputy Governor such that it won't remain an office cleaner to the Governor, because some of previous Deputy Governor that I knew are not fairing better, neither do they clip the nails of a Lion.


So I will make bold to say it is a Constitutional flaws that needs urgent amendment, let's will give Bite to the office and lift it little above Chief of Staff, Speaker of the House and give it a Functional chores independent of the Governor. 


There was this Former Deputy Governor who accepted to be SA under a Current Governor, though he did not shoot down Stars in his tenure but the hard truth is.. 

He stooped lower among the ladder of the lowest. 


Somebody, say a brother or friend who loved him would've caution him that it pays to walk away from certain demotional appointment, either one move back to previous job, for those who had life and calling before the adventure into Politics or before you wind up as DG, you find a partnership that works, so that you won't loiter like many Members of the House who thought that there won't be end to the life of eating Government Fund.. When it stopped or they are removed as Member they became hungry and constituting what we all know.. 


The State House of Ashamebly should try and give some Bite to the office of the Deputy Governor, extradicate it from the grips of the Governor who always place that office to a scorn, maybe because the person were imposed or given to the Governor by the Party and the Governor sees him as Hostile .


Imagine a state where the Deputy is less than a Pawn, the House of Ashamebly is like what we have in Anambara state, the state is stale.. Nothing works, except magnified Fraud covered as SIGNATURE Task but in actual it is Signature fraud.


The House of Ashamebly should at least carry out a definition to the office of the Deputy Governor, the Duties, then put it down as Law that whenever the Governor travels out of the state for more than 24 Hours, he must transmit powers to the Deputy Governor, instead to the Wife, Chief of Staff, any Tout with diabolical powers as it is in many places...


 The reason the office of Deputy is elected is for it to be next to that of the Governor, not to function as office without Portfolio.


Having a toothless Deputy Governor is like having a Car with deflated Spare Tyre.

The Car is without spare of any kind because in a deflated situation, the plans should be how to repair the failed one and not to replace same with the spare, so why weighting the Car down with such Gimcrack?.


Imagine the current Deputy Governor are not being consulted in any Political matter even in his own Town, but ordinary SA (Special Assistant) not SA (Special Adviser) rates higher and are more financially sufficient than the Deputy Governor...


Such trend should change with provision of amended Constitution, that is if our House of Clowns will deem it fit to do something that worths it while.


Anambara is a state that leads, then others followed and my old man will say "Onye Ana eme nkiri, adiro nma ikpo ntu" (One who is being looked up to for decency doesn't bath self with Mud).


We need to make our state stand gidigbam, that will make others to also look at us and wish na fa bu Ndi Anambara as well or emulate us just to stay closer.


This Coming election, the choice of Deputy Governor must be somebody who has the miem of fulfilled, one who has being in Dinner eating before the General Diner is served, one who bakes Garri in his house and also Cook Soup as well, not those who borrow Soup and live at the mercies of those who will portion them breakfast.


If you ask me, I will advocate for Deputy Governor who is no Nonsense and who even the Governor will not like to screw or agbanyeru ya ezigbo Movie.


Tabugbo and I am advocate of getting this state right again.. 


I remain Last Born Mpa Nnukwu, Mkpisi Ndi Egede, Special Adviser on Good Governance to the Governor of Anambra State (UNPAID), Minority Opinion writer na South East, Nwa Chukwu Ku na aka na ONWU agaghi egbu nwu ya.. I come with Peace and ready for Pissing contest as well.
