Ibrahim Abdullahi, one of the nominees for Resident Electoral Commissioners, REC, for Indepedent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Wednesday told Senators that many of them do not visit their constituencies.
The Adamawa State nominee said this while he was being screened by the upper chamber.
He advised lawmakers to be in touch with their constituents.

Abdullahi, who was responding to a question by Senator Ali Wakili (Bauchi South) on how the National Assembly could improve its image, said, “Some National Assembly members are not really visiting their constituencies the way it should be. The activities of the members should be more opened.”
Senator Abdullahi Gumel (Jigawa North West), however, disagreed with the Adamawa State nominee, saying, “80 to 85 percent of the lawmakers go to their constituencies but unfortunately the demands of people are too much because of the inactivity of local governments.”
