The former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has spoken on the vandalisation of f the properties of the National Assembly by former lawmakers.
Oshiomhole, who disclosed this in an appearance on Channels TV on Sunday, stated that the presence of security operatives did nothing to stop former senators and House of Reps members from looting television sets, carpets and chairs.
The senator representing Edo North added that those involved left their offices in a muddled state with holes in the walls, adding that he had to get his office fixed before using it.
Oshiomhole, however, failed to mention the names of those he said are behind the acts.
“Let me tell you one thing the National Assembly is not talking about and I don’t know why those who have a duty to speak are not speaking about it.
“I was shocked by the level of vandalisation of properties of the National Assembly. Televisions were carted away, carpets were carted away, Senators’ chairs were carted away.
“I had to use my money and some also decided to deliver to me a printer, to give me a laptop to use in my office. I had to buy the carpet and pay the cost of fixing it.
“I had to pay some young people to clean the office to restore the new carpet. I had to pay to repaint my office. I will produce the receipt.
“I can’t understand why and how a senate that sat on Sunday before we were inaugurated on the following Tuesday, and that level of vandalisation took place, and we have hundreds of security men and women in the National Assembly.
“I can never understand what happened. You find holes on the wall, even in the offices of principal officers of the senate, who I won’t get to mention.
“People told me there’s also the same level of vandalisation in the House Representatives,” he said.
