Tammy Abraham says no regret snubbing Nigeria.

Imperative of the commission  First of all, I will start by extending our sympathies, that is, of members of the House of Representatives, as well as those of members of our own caucus, over this very deadly crisis that has bedeviled our own section of this dear country.
