Meanwhile, Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, has accused lawmakers in the National Assembly of not representing the interest of their people and also contributing to the security issues in Nigeria.
Gumi in his statement on Wednesday said the lawmakers are not listening to the plights of their people who voted them into office.
The cleric stated this while speaking at a Zoom conference organized by the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies.
He said “No good representation in the legislation. The problems of insecurity cannot be tackled by the legislation. The lawmakers are not good representatives of the people.”
Gumi noted that the people are suffering and need to be heard and this is why he has been meeting with bandits to listen to them and give them a new orientation.
