Nigeria’s House of Representatives yesterday, Thursday 28th January reacted negatively to the letter former President, Olusegun Obasanjo sent to the House of Assembly few days back in which he accused the house of corruption, impunity, greed and insensitivity.
Abdulrazak Namdas, Chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, while addressing the issue of the letter referred to it as nothing but a distraction and that the allegations leveled against them were misdirected.
He further added that, the former President might have been referring to the high rate of corruption in the parliament under his own government of the 4th and 5th Session of the parliament and not their own session.
“We have tremendous respect for the former President. We don’t want to be distracted by letters.
“Probably the letter is not meant for the 8th Assembly because we have cued in with President Muhammadu Buhari, I think the letter is meant for the 4th or 5th Assembly. It was misdirected” said the House of Reps spokesperson.
