By Ahmad Ilallah, Hadejia
The coalition of civil society organizations working on governance accountability (Good Governance Advocates) from Jigawa Northeast claims that the interpretation of the video circulating in the social media and national dailies was erroneously misinterpreted and condemned the action by various media.
The group leader, Comrade Ahmed Ilallah, said, “We studied the video. The member representing Hadejia, Auyo, and K/Hausa, Hon. Usman Kamfani, was referring to the amount a member can spend for drafting a bill if he can do it himself or the people or consultant that do the draft work.”
But not money given as a corruption or otherwise to his colleagues or the House.
The way and the manner this information has been twisted and misrepresented has not only slandered the image of the Honourable Member but also the entire constituency.
The action can also trim the image of the Nigerian National Assembly and the Nigerian democracy.
