In an interview with Israel Laryer after their release, Ernesto said, they had earlier on informed the public that they were storming parliament that day and on arrival, they went through all the four security checkpoints and were certified as harmless ordinary citizens before they made it to the gallery of parliament for the day’s proceedings, however, a comment by member of parliament K.T Hammond that, parliament cannot sit under trees was enough provocation to make them speak up.

According to him, the young people of this country should not live their future in the hands of politicians who do not think a hoot about them and that; we were practicing a fake democracy as a nation. We should not sit down and allow our leaders to misbehave.

The two believe that they have sent a strong signal to parliament and government which is exactly what they went there to do. According to them, they were manhandled especially by the female security officers. Abieku Adams had his clothes torn as a result of the scuffle at the time he was been forced out of the chamber.

The fact is that, the Drop that Chamber Protest is a national agenda of the ordinary people who believe that, basic social amenities and services are needed and should be invested in rather than a new chamber for parliament.
