invitation call by the Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy

mismanagement of Itu LG Funds, lack of due process, using the LG funds
to settle bills for the First Lady, using the LG Fund to settle
stakeholders in Itu such as; Sen. Anietie Okon, Mr. Akan Okon, Mr. Ebong
amongst others.
Reacting to Mrs Elsie Esara's absent, the member
representing Essien Udium Hon. Nse Ntuen stated that even as a former
LG Chairman and presently the AKHA member, "if am invited by the house
or any agency , i never fails to appear but she (Esara) has disrespect
this Assembly".
Rt. Hon. Felicia Bassey, Deputy Speaker express
her bitterness over the absent of a mere appointed Transition Chairman,
that it is an insult to the 6th Assembly.

call through, Ntekpere extended the invitation to all the Transition
Committee Menbers to appear before the Committee, also to appear before
