Defeated Senators, Reps Leave NASS Offices

Senators and House of Representatives members who failed in their return bid started moving their personal effects out of the National Assembly complex on Monday. This is coming with about one month to the proclamation of the eight National Assembly. The lawmakers’ personal effects including tables and chairs of various sizes, framed photographs, books, standing mirror, centre rug and art works of various sizes were loaded into trucks. Apart from those that lost the March 28 National Assembly election others who were seen removing their belongings from the complex included those who lost their primary elections. Scores of legislative aides were seen loading personal belongings of the lawmakers into waiting trucks stationed at the entrance of the “White House.” One of the legislative aides seen dragging a “Ghana must go” bag filled with books retorted that “soldier go soldier come, National Assembly remains.” The aide said his boss instructed them to evacuate his office and take his belongings to his new office the Maitama area of Abuja.The Nation
