Dong communities of Jos North Local Government Area of
Plateau are sad over the attitude of the Speaker of the Plateau State House of
Assembly. Rt. Hon Peter Azi, over his neglect and failed campaign promises.
The coordinator of the electric city blackout leaders in
Dong Kasa of Miango junction, Rukuba road (JCR) Chief John Nkwa said, the Speaker
had promised during his electioneering campaign to provide electricity to the communities,
if they support him at the 2015 general election, but what they get is
abandonment of the project.
Chief John Nkwa alleged that the contractor handling a
multi-million naira electrification of villages in Jos North, Jos South and
Bassa Local Governments has abandoned the projects site and equipments worth
billions of naira are vandalized.
He lamented that both the present and past politicians makes
promises to connect the communities with electricity but when election is over they
will not be seen again.
He said “even the present Speaker, of the Plateau state House
of Assembly who happens to be a member of the community, after promising us
that if we vote him. He will connect the communities with electricity, but after
winning the election, he told us that it is not his responsibility to provide
us with electricity”.
