10th Assembly: Ondo East/West Federal Constituency Faces Loss of Representation As Hon. Abiola Makinde Relocates to United States

In a concerning development for the constituents of Ondo East/West Federal Constituency, it has come to light that their representative, Hon. Abiola Makinde, has relocated to the United States. This move raises significant questions about the ongoing representation and engagement of the constituency in the affairs of the National Assembly.

During a recent visit to Hon. Makinde’s constituency office, representatives from Ondo West/East were met with a locked door at room 3.36 of the National Assembly, with no aides or staff present to address their concerns. This absence is symptomatic of a deeper issue; since the inauguration of the 10th Assembly, constituents have expressed a growing sense of disenfranchisement.

Recent reports suggest that numerous bills, including crucial legislation such as the Cybersecurity Act and the National Anthem Act, have been passed into law without any input or awareness from the constituency’s representative.

One concerned constituent voiced frustration over the lack of communication and representation, stating, “As we speak, we don’t know what the National Anthem Act, or any other Acts of the 10th parliament looks like as citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria due to the relocation of Hon. Makinde.” This sentiment reflects a broader disenchantment among the constituents regarding their lack of access to vital legislative updates and community engagement.

In light of these developments, constituents are calling on the Speaker of the National Assembly to investigate Hon. Makinde’s plenary attendance and travel history since the inception of the 10th National Assembly. Many are questioning whether he is still actively fulfilling his duties as a member of the Assembly, given his reported relocation.

As the situation unfolds, the loss of effective representation threatens not only the interests of Ondo East/West Federal Constituency but also calls into question the accountability standards for elected officials in Nigeria’s democratic framework. Constituents demand clarity and decisive action to ensure their voices are heard and their interests are represented within the National Assembly.
