Unveiling The Serial Empowerment Frauds Of Hon. Bede Eke

MAZI EJIMOFOR OPARA

I have maintained, in previous write ups, that Hon Bede Eke and his band of media wannabes are openly fraudulent and shamelessly impressing it on the gullible who do not bother to look beyond the veil. Here is an Honourable member who carelessly inserts white elephant “empowerment programs” into the budget, supposedly to help the good people of Aboh Mbaise /Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency. Sadly, a review of these spurious empowerment programs shows that it has been nothing short of organized crime. Every year, since Hon Bede assumed office, there have been torrents of empowerment programs captured in the budget for Ndi Aboh Mbaise and Ngor Okpala running into millions of Budgetary releases. Yet, there is hardly one person who can boldly point out constituents who have been commensurately empowered.

In this year’s budget, he has continued with the same trend knowing that people would care less. The next thing we would see are pictures of T-Shirt and cap wearing Youths and Women, wielding banners of a Bede Eke sponsored “empowerment” program and that will be all for the year. Note, Hon Bede inserted 6 empowerment programs into the 2018 Budget (I mean the real signed budget, not the piece of trash posted by some Abuja based fraudsters o), totalling *N265,000,000 (Two Hundred and Sixty-five Million Naira Only)* – I can give you the breakdown if you want. That of 2016 and 2017 are some thousands less than what we have in 2018. Yet, we have stories of constituents who are waiting ad infinitum for a 50,000 naira seed capital or loan after been exploited by Hon Bede and his accomplices from a yet to be mentioned bank.

Those that were asked to pay 5,000 to collect 50,000 how far?

Sadly, Bede Eke is busy using Ten Million Naira to construct school desks and Twenty Million Naira to build “kwako” stalls. He is actually too busy and does not care if you are empowered or not. Afterall, his paid social media nitwits will always be there to tell you that he is a righteous Evangelist; to tell you how Buhari is the only problem we should complain about; to tell you how Owelle and Uche Nwosu are the only enemies of our progress and how Aboh Mbaise must allow Ngor Okpala send Bede Eke back to the House even though he is haplessly raping our sensibilities.

The best a Bede Eke can be, if returned for a second term is a “Ranking Guyman”. He would have perfected his characteristic act of “wuru-wuru”, and Ngor Okpala /Aboh Mbaise Federal Constituency will become worse-off. God forbid!

Lest we forget, who has read or seen the “corrective letter” changing OKWUATO PRIMARY SCHOOL to OKWUATO SECONDARY SCHOOL? That is a 30 million Naira budget padding we must monitor.
