Ex- Rivers APC chairman flays N’assembly members

- From Anietie Akpan, Calabar

Fchairman of the All Progressiv­es Congress ( APC), Ntufam Edim Inok, has berated National Assembly members, accusing them of using their oversight functions to enrich themselves.

Inok made the allegation, yesterday, while briefing journalist­s in Calabar on his aspiration to represent Calabar/ Odukpani in the Federal House of Representa­tives.

He said: “I know the expectatio­ns of that office and what it should deliver. It’s not oversight function.

“That’s why our people cannot bring back dividends to the people because they are lobbying for one viable committee and pushing for budget. That’s not why the people want them to go and represent them. You give quality representa­tion by bringing the dividends to people not by enriching your pocket.”
