Some workers at the national assembly created a scene on Monday, after Biodun Olujimi, senator representing Ekiti south, allegedly asked her aide to assault a member of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN).
The senator was on her way to the public hearing of the senate committee on petroleum downstream, investigating the N5 trillion subsidy payment to the Nigerian National Petroleum Commission (NNPC).
Olujimi allegedly ordered her aide to slap the official. The national assembly staff immediately told members of PASAN who were holding a congress on the second floor of the new wing of the senate.
This caused an outrage as his colleagues stormed out of the congress in a bid to attack the lawmaker, who was scuttled to safety by her security guards.
“From today, I will start entering lift with senators. No senator will ever push me out,” a national assembly staff said in anger.
TheCable learnt that the parliamentary staff were holding the congress to embark on a strike.
Speaking with journalists after the incident, Olujimi vowed to take the matter up with the police.

This is not right at all
ReplyDeleteThe solidarity generated was because it was a man who got harrased by a supperior woman. Had it been a girl who insisted she must ride a reserved elevator with a senator they wont react like this.
DeleteThis utterly ridiculous, from a Senator of Federal Republic of Nigeria. Where is the moral standard?

ReplyDeleteLawless fucking country.
ReplyDeleteVery silly and insignificant things mean so much to us Nigerians. So they can't do their own jobs because senators are in the same lift with them? They should kuku provide separate lifts for the lawmakers and the NA staff then.
ReplyDeleteNigerians in politics and positions of authority always see themselves as gods. Are they better than other human beings? Na was ooh!

ReplyDeletePeople use to have a much respect for Ekiti people because of their high level of education, it is shocking however to see that despite this academic superiority, some of the politicians they've chosen to represent them hardly behave like educated people.
ReplyDeleteThey have one for senators only n he joined her there, she felt disrespected! Lol.
