Gov Yahaya Felicitates Speaker At 60

The Chairman of the Northern States Governors’ Forum and Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has joined family, colleagues, and associates of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, in celebrating his 60th birthday.

In a congratulatory message by his director general on press affairs, Isma’ila Uba Misilli, Governor Yahaya described the Speaker as an erudite and charismatic leader whose humility, simplicity, and discipline have been instrumental in providing exceptional leadership for the House of Representatives over the past two years.

He noted that under Abbas’s stewardship, the Green Chamber has witnessed a harmonious atmosphere for debates and ideas exchange, which has enhanced its effectiveness in driving national development.

The Governor commended the Speaker’s personal qualities of selflessness, maturity and friendliness, which, he said, have significantly strengthened the relationship between the Executive and Legislative arms of government.

According to the NSGF Chairman, this cordiality has resulted in the smooth passage of critical bills that directly impact Nigerians’ livelihoods.

“As you mark this milestone diamond jubilee, I pray to Almighty Allah to continue to bless, protect and guide you in all your endeavours,” the governor stated.
