The National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Jare Ajayi, in a statement on Thursday, said the rejection of the amendment by some members of the House of Representatives Committee on Constitution Review had reinforced the notion that most of the members were not in the National Assembly to serve the best interests of majority of Nigerians.
Ajayi, however, commended Onofiok Luke from Akwa Ibom for the amendment to section 214 of the 1999 Constitution to enable States to have power to set up State Police. Onofiok had sought the amendment to move section 214 of the constitution from the exclusive list to the concurrent list. That will have empowered both the National Assembly and houses of assembly of states to legislate on police and other security matters.
We all knew it is a politician's business to get and hold his job at all costs. If he can hold it by lying, he will hold it by lying.
