The Kogi State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has scored Governor Idris Wada low in his first 100 days in office.
The party chairman, Alhaji Haddy Ametuo gave the assessment in a statement in Abuja.
Ametuo stated that Wada has spent 75 of the 100 days out of the state which can be confirmed be news report on activities of his government so far. His deputy, Architect Yomi Awoniyi has been more visible in the state.
The ACN chief said: “Wada has not made any progress since he took over as ‘Governor’ on January 30 after the Vice-President of Nigeria directed the Inspector General of Police to escort him to Government House Lokoja.
“In the last 100 days we have not seen any spark, policy pronouncement or dramatic action to move Kogi State forward from Wada.
“In fact, Wada hasn’t performed below what we expected of him. His first 100 days have been characterized by cluelessness, lawlessness, disregard for the rule of law and apparent lack of direction.
“There is no action seen in any sector of the economy in the last 100 days; we expect the real government voted in by our people to do more but nothing has been done and there is no clear cut thinking on the part of this illegal government and mandate bandits! What we have seen is simply 100 days of Fluphenazine-induced rigmarole!
“In the 100 days, Wada has wasted over 75 days in junketing between Abuja and Lokoja as well as globetrotting from coast to coast with Mr. Vice-President.
“We have heard over the local radio sometimes that the administration had promised the commissioning of several projects that were completed within the 100 days. We beg to ask, where are the projects?
“We just hope projects already commissioned would not be re-commissioned, most especially those of his predecessor and others executed by former Governor Prince Abubakar Audu. He has only constructed one unit of ‘round-about’ with the statue of Lord Lugard to match, right in front of the Government House, and it is actually ready for commissioning!
“Let me place on record that, it is 100 days of trying to learn on the job. There is nothing glamorous about it.
“He is using the first 100 days in office to show to Kogites and Nigerians that he is not prepared for the office. He has succeeded in admitting to Nigerians that maneuvering your way into public office doesn’t translate into performing the functions of that office.”
The party also insisted that Wada is still an illegal occupant of Kogi State Government House.
The ACN added: “The key point is that Wada Idris is illegally occupying the Kogi State Government House, an office which the Speaker of the State House of Assembly was ordered by the Supreme Court to run its affairs until a new election is conducted.”
