I advice that Federal House of Representatives be scraped clean and their duties added to the Senate. How I wish Mr. Stephen Abuwatseya gets justice! That will be justice to the poor masses of Nigeria. It’s no news that these Senators and the so called Honorables use their security details to harras and maltrite Nigerian citizens who do not have the opportunity they have in using the citizen taxes for their own comfort. May God help us in Nigeria. The Country stinks! Aba North and South Federal Constituency in Abia State on whose ticket he became a representative recall him and replace him.
