The Deputy Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Philip Agbese, has said that Nigerians will soon be thankful that President Bola Tinubu endorsed Tajudeen Abbas as the Speaker of the House.
Naija News recalls that the All Progressives Congress (APC) formally adopted Abbas as its candidate for the Speaker position in April 2023.
Tinubu’s recommendation led to the party’s support for Abbas, resulting in other contenders stepping down in preparation for the 10th Assembly’s inauguration.
Addressing the media from his office, Agbese praised Tinubu and the APC for their decisiveness in selecting Abbas.
He said, “Recommending Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, to be Speaker of the 10th House of Representatives is one of the greatest steps taken in the right direction by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and our great party, the APC.”
Agbese further extolled the exceptional leadership qualities and legislative prowess exhibited by Abbas. He highlighted the formulation of comprehensive policies and programs in the legislative agenda of the 10th Assembly, indicating a strong foundation for the House’s operations.
He elaborated on Abbas’s commitment to transparency and training, stating, “The Speaker is committed to open NASS, where all and sundry would be abreast with the workings and happenings of the House in what we call citizens engagements. He is committed to providing quality training for lawmakers, bureaucrats, and even journalists covering the House.”
Regarding the initial concerns surrounding the Assembly’s functionality due to the majority of freshman lawmakers, Agbese praised the quick adaptation of members.
He emphasized their adherence to House rules and the efficient conduct of debates, reflecting a smooth legislative process.
