Mixed feelings enveloped the National Assembly as non-returning 9th House of Representatives members began to take their exit, moving items, documents and others from their offices ahead of the final dissolution of the parliament.
The sitting for the 9th National Assembly will officially end on Wednesday, where members will bid goodbye to the job they have done for four years.
Mr Yahaya Danzaria, the Clerk of the House of Reps, in a message, informed members that the valedictory session for the 9th House of Reps would hold on Wednesday.
The event, according to him, will have in attendance former Presiding Officers, Leadership and Clerks.
A News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, correspondent who visited some of the lawmakers offices reports that the atmosphere was charged with memories of their stay.
Cleaners in the National Assembly were seen helping the lawmakers to move their personal belongings to the waiting arms of their vehicles.
Some NASS staff were also seen taking inventory of items at the lawmakers offices; items such as fridges, television sets, photocopiers, portraits among others, were sighted.
Some secretaries and aides to some lawmakers, who spoke to NAN on anonymity, prayed never to work with the kind of lawmakers they worked for.
In what appeared like a consensus opinion on their bosses, they decried their alleged insensitivity to issues and tightfistedness, coupled with high-handedness and rampant absenteeism.
While some of the staff relished their experiences about their bosses, emotions were betrayed, stating that their bosses were genuine, intentional and extremely nice to them for four years.
One of the secretaries simply identified as Tonia, said her boss would be surely missed, describing him as thorough, kindhearted, dedicated and always willing to share in their time of need.
On his part, Rep. Sam Onuigbo (APC-Abia) said the items being moved by the lawmakers had been paid for, adding that the lawmakers had been charged for the items and the money deducted from their allowances
