Global News: $22.7 Billion Dollars Loan: HE Prince Frank
Ukonga DA Nat. Chair, blast Senator Ordia- Senate Committee Chair for Local & Foreign Debt for Exclusion of Edo state and the Mid -West Region in the Nationwide
Infrastructural Development Loan.
Senator Clifford Ordia is the Senator Representing Edo State
Central Senatorial District of the Nigerian Federation and Chairman Senate
Committee on Local & Foreign Debt. While HE Prince Frank Ukonga is the National
Chairman of the great Party the Democratic Alternative Party DA- which is the
third-largest party in Nigeria and the Third Force among 91 registered political
Parties. HE Prince Frank Ukonga is also the National Director of Policy and Planning
of the Prestigious IPAC-Inter-Party Advisory Council of Nigeria.
Speaking to the Press on the issue of the $22.7 Billion
Dollar loan recently approved by the Senate for President Buhari for Nationwide
Infrastructural development HE Prince Frank Ukonga kicked against the approval
of the loan by the senate saying it could be wasted and sleazed and this would plunge
Nigeria into a great debt burden.
The Amiable Prince added that; what pains me most is that my
Friend and compatriot from same state Senator Clifford Ordia is the Chairman of
Senate Committee on Local & Foreign Debt that Chaired the entire $ 22.7 Billion
Dollars loan drama and he did not include any specific project for Edo state
nor the Mid -West when Senator Odia knows full well that our road of – Lokoja-Okene-Ibillo- Igarra[Akoko Edo]-
Auchi-Ekpoma- Benin Road and the Ekpoma-Auchi
-Igarria-Ibillo-Owo-Akure –Ife –Gbagan Road
are the worst Federal Government Roads in Nigeria that needed urgent repairs.
He knows the great suffering his people at Edo Central and my peoples at Edo
North are suffering as we are completely landlocked and lockdown and it is imperative
to open up this Region through good roads and rails for any meaningful
development to come in. But Senator Clifford Ordia signed off the destiny,
future, and fortunes of his peoples and my peoples by his indiscretions of
excluding us from the entire National infrastructural development game plan. It
is pathetic and despicable. We appeal to the Senate to go back to the drawing
board and do the needful.
