    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to support the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government for setting up these professional boards. This is because if you look at our towns and cities, you will find that councillors are elected and work under the nightmare of the electorate. So, even if they see somebody building on a road reserve, the first thought is his vote and not what is right for the town. Now that we have management boards that are professional – and I hope they will be truly discharging their duties professionally – they will be able to do what I saw done in Nigeria. Abuja is a special city with a status where the Governor of Abuja sits in the Cabinet. At one time, a sitting President built a hotel, the size of 680 Hotel, on a reserve sewer line. The Governor came in the morning and razed it down without any ado, and the President had not recourse because he had offended the law. We want this protection so that we can have our towns and cities growing properly."
