The attention of the Wahab Issa Campaign Organisation (WICO) has been drawn to a certain report by a self-confessed failed lawmaker whose speciality appears to be muckraking and has also been adjudged by his constituents as having wasted their precious time as a legislator in Abuja with nothing to show for it except for the sponsors of premature bills that have not seen the light of the day for almost four years on the floor of the House of Representatives.  In another puerile move, the candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Hon.
