The former Supervisory Councillor further distanced himself of any calls distanced himself of any calls for equity that won’t be fair to him or his primary constituency, Ogulagha/Iduwini Ward 11.
He said, “The word equity when implied properly is good, but he who calls for equity must do so with clean hands.
“I charge you to approach your equity train without blemish or being influenced by individuals with ulterior motives.
Continuing, Willy pointed out that there are people in Burutu who have being favored at the detriment of the entire Council Area.
He added that such persons are not fit to demand equity as the odds have favored them against the general will of the people in time past.
“The big question remains who is calling for equity? There are people who have been enthroned against the will of the entire Burutu people. Equity should not be heard in the mouth of such persons,” Willy added.
