The Members of the Committee transcended party-lines and tribal lines to confirm that whatever they have done is forewarning to even Members of this House; that this House will never condone any action that is unconstitutional or irregular.

• 30 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Government spent a lot of money. I was promised that it would be issued in two weeks’ time. I waited for the Statement last week, but it was not issued.
