The 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Abia State, Ikechi Emenike, has congratulated the new senate president, speaker of the House of Representatives and their deputies for emerging as presiding officers of the 10th National Assembly (NASS).
Senator Godswill Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State emerged the senate president with Senator Barau Jubrin as his deputy while in the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas and Hon. Benjamin Kalu were elected speaker and deputy speaker, respectively.
Emenike, who was the Abia State coordinator of Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Council, implored the leadership of the National Assembly to get to work immediately and make Nigerians feel the positive impact of their quality legislations
Emenike in a statement, said he was satisfied with the emergence of these “fine crop of leaders for the nation’s hallowed chambers of legislative business.”
“I have no doubt that with these intelligent and patriotic lawmakers leading the National Assembly, there will be harmony and synergy between the executive and legislative arms of government for the overall growth and prosperity of the nation,” he said.
“President Bola Tinubu has come to enthrone renewed hope, growth and prosperity in Nigeria and this can only be made possible if the federal legislators see themselves as people on patriotic duties who should work in partnership with Mr. President,” he added.
He further said, “The leadership of the National Assembly should hit the ground running because expectations from Nigerians are very high especially with the fuel subsidy removal. They should come up with legislations that will grow the economy and improve living conditions of the masses.”
Emenike, who is a renowned development economist, commended the members of the 10th National Assembly for the confidence they reposed in Akpabio and Jubrin to pilot the affairs of the Red Chamber and for Abbas and Kalu to be in charge of the Green Chamber of the apex legislative body.
