Senators and House of Representatives members who failed in their re-election bids yesterday started moving their personal effects out of the National Assembly complex.
The development came less that about one month to the proclamation of the eight National Assembly.
Personal effects of the lawmakers, including tables and chairs of various sizes, framed photographs, books, standing mirror, centre rug and artworks of various sizes were seen being loaded into trucks.
Apart from those who lost the March 28 National Assembly election, others who are also removing their belongings from the complex included those who lost their primary elections.
Scores of legislative aides were seen loading personal belongings of the lawmakers into waiting trucks stationed at the entrance of the ‘White House.’
One of the legislative aides seen dragging a ‘Ghana must go’ bag filled with books retorted that “soldier go soldier come, National Assembly remains.”
The aide said his boss instructed them to evacuate his office and take his belongings to his new office at the Maitama area of Abuja.
Efforts to speak with one of the Southeast senators, who lost his election, proved abortive as he refused to answer his call.
