Following this morning threats from the leader of the embattled members of the House of Representatives, Hon.Dino Melaye, that he and the other suspended members of the Assembly will force their way into the hallow chamber or turn the gate of the National assembly complex into their bedroom by bringing their mattresses to pass each night that goes by till the Speaker and his cohorts obey the Abuja high court ruling of reinstating them, today made a dramatic appearance at the House of Representatives beating security operatives at the gates of the National Assembly. The reinstated lawmaker entered the complex of National Assembly amidst drama and confusion.
The security operatives who were caught unawares remained dumbfounded, they later raised an alert to other security personnel at the main entrance of the chamber but Dino had already found his way to the chambers exchanging pleasantries.
Mr. Melaye and his colleagues who were earlier "suspended" by the Dimeji Bankole led leadership were reinstated last week by a federal high court court judge in Abuja. But a lawless and reckless Speaker Bankole refused to accept the ruling of the court, instead resorting to string -arm tactics with the full support of the Nigerian police. The media learnt that Mr. Bankole's lawyers led by Wole Olanipekun (SAN) promised him they'd win the case on appeal. Reason: They were offered additional N500 million in legal fees.
The National Assembly have become an embarrassing drainpipe in the national economy, the "National Assembly of Robbers" are paid 25 percent of annual budgets in Nigeria for making laws that they routinely break!
