I can’t enter when my staff are outside —NASS clerk

The Clerk of the National Assembly (CNA)Sani Omolori, Tuesday morning refused entering into the National Assembly complex, insisting he cannot go in without his staff.

The CNA, who arrived at the main gate of the National Assembly at about 9.58, was cleared to enter by the operatives of the Department of State Service (DSS) but he refused, saying “I can’t enter here when my staff are outside. I am not a politician.”

Mr. Omolori turned back and left immediately.

Lawmakers were however later allowed to enter while journalists and staff of the Assembly were refused entry.
