A call to vigilance has been sounded for lawmakers to prevent external forces from leveraging the parliament for personal gain.
Hon. Philip Agbese, the Deputy Spokesman of the House of Representatives, has issued a warning to his fellow lawmakers. He cautions them against allowing the parliament to be exploited by external actors seeking to advance their own political interests.
This advice comes as the country looks ahead to 2027, a year that may bring significant political changes. Agbese’s statement underscores the importance of maintaining the integrity and independence of the legislative body.
By being mindful of potential manipulation, lawmakers can ensure that the parliament remains a space for the genuine representation of the people’s interests, rather than a tool for external actors to further their own agendas.
The reminder from Hon. Agbese serves as a timely reminder of the importance of parliamentary integrity.
