Morning Teaser Do you support the lawmakers who jumped the fence of the National Assembly?

Is it in defense of Nigeria's democracy that lawmakers would jump the fence into the National Assembly? The opposition party wants us to believe that.

A few weeks ago, some members of the House of Representatives were locked out of the National Assembly by the police on the allegation that there was information that some hoodlums were planning to ferment trouble. The lawmakers decided to take the laws into their hands and scale the fence of the assembly.

The incident became a strong talking point with many condemning the act of the lawmakers while some, especially the opposition All Progressive Party, APC, commending the act, saying they did it to defend Nigeria's democracy while blamingPresident Goodluck Jonathan for the closure of the NASS.

The issue has refused to die down after many weeks and just this morning, erudite Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, came out to pour encomium on the lawmakers, saying they did the right thing.

On Morning Teaser today, we ask: do you support the APC lawmakers who jumped the fence of the National Assembly?
