Recall that Femi Gbaja jumped through gate. Don't underestimate our parliamentarians o!

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!
