The ex-lawmaker went on to explain that he clarified the “failed state” and “self-determination" which he used while commenting on national affairs because the meaning of some words can be different from what other persons perceive it to be. Na’Abba while stating that the interrogation was successful, noted that this was how things are supposed to be. The former lawmaker also said that he had no problems at the DSS as he enjoyed his stay there. He added that they were both satisfied with the outcome of the questioning and even advised one another. “In my address, I used the words ‘failed state’ and ‘self determination’. When we say out words, what we mean may be different from what other persons perceive and that was what happened. What happened was that in their own opinion, I did not use the words appropriately and it is only human to use words not appropriately and I told them that what I meant there is that the indices that characterise a failed state are prevalent with us,” he said.
