According to an explanation by Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila, who is the House of Representatives' minority leader, he scaled the Assembly gate to save "our democracy".

He took to his Facebook page to say that:

“What happened in the National Assembly  will forever live in infamy. Never thought I would see the day when I would be forced to go over the assembly gates where I work to gain access into the chambers. But then our democracy has to be saved. It was pretty clear the presidency in spite of a court injunction wanted to do something sinister and illegal.

In action: Sitting top right on the Assembly gate, Hon. Gbajabiamila scaled the National Assembly gate 

He continued.. 

"They perfected the plot to stop the Speaker and the opposition leader from gaining entry. My members were already in chambers waiting for me to come in so as to provide leadership and direction. Most of them had gone over the fate too. I had to do the needful to save our democracy. We thank God we foiled their evil machinations. We will continue to be vigilant.”
