Tinubu Celebrates House Of Reps Speaker Abbas At 58

President Bola Tinubu has warmly felicitated with the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the 10th National Assembly, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, as the reputable public servant attains his new age of 58 on Nigeria’s Independence Day anniversary.

The President, in a statement by his media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, on Sunday, shared in the joy of Nigerians and well-wishers from around the world as they celebrate the humble Prince of Zazzau Emirate on his special day, particularly in view of his landmark contributions to the nation’s House of Representatives as the legislator who sponsored the highest number of Bills in the 8th Assembly between 2015 and 2019, before sponsoring a record-breaking 74 bills, out of which 21 were signed into law, in the 9th Assembly between 2019 and 2023.

The President noted that the Iyan Zazzau had equally served in numerous Committees in the House, such as Commerce, Finance, Special Duties, Defence, Public Procurement, amongst others, before emerging as the House Speaker through an election which recorded the greatest winning coalition vote in Nigerian Speakership election history with an overwhelming majority of 353 votes out of 359 votes cast.

President Tinubu prayed that God Almighty will continue to grant the respected academician greater wisdom and strength as the Speaker successfully sustains the worthy legacy of stable and productive leadership in the House of Representatives from the hallowed seat in determined pursuit of the actualisation of the Renewed Hope agenda of the governing All Progressives’ Congress-led administration of the President.
