Senators Lawan and Akpabio may have to hide for prayers in the Clerk's Office

@iam_doctormayor

It's very funny to watch. I just want to see some senators on how they want to start running with their big belly.

@donald_segun

Leemao . Akpabio will get caught first for obvious reasons. Perhaps only Saraki and definitely Dino could have escaped

@west_tekena

Saraki's got the marathon pace, Dino's got the tree-climbing skills, Lawan and Akpabio are still trying to figure out how to jog without tripping on their own feet! And Ben Bruce? He's sticking to what he knows best - working the catwalk like it's a fashion show!
