John Gwala said:

Mr Speaker is on a mission to rebrand Parliament as an independent Institution of govt. We must support him. MPs must wear local attires to work to help boost the local/traditional textile industry and create employment. Nigeria’s Senate is a typical example, not everytime wearing Suit & Tie. Well done, Alban Bagbin!
