L atest report as A former member of the House of Representatives, Hon.Bassey Etim, has blamed the National Assembly for the incessant killings in the country.

Meanwhile the erstwhile senatorial aspirant for Akwa Ibom North East, on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said it was wrong for Nigerians to place the blame solely on the shoulders of President Muhammadu Buhari without attributing same to the National Assembly.

Etim, who spoke with newsmen, in Abuja, after the Supreme Court terminated his senatorial ambition, said the Federal lawmakers had not done anything to arrest the security situations in the country beyond summoning the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris.
Said he, “Looking around the country today, we have security challenges but it is wrong to blame it on President Buhari alone. The legislators are equally not doing what they need to do to change the situation.

“Legislators have their own share of the blame. It is not enough to summon the Inspector General of Police but there should be a strong oversight on the activities of security agencies, to enable them know where the problem is coming from.
“The National Assembly should undertake and oversight function to find out the problem and come up with possible solutions.” Etim suggested.

Meanwhile, the former lawmaker has also called on his supporters to put behind them the judgment of the Supreme Court which favoured his political opponent, Bassey Akpan, and worked with him towards 2019 general elections.
