The Deputy Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Hon. Philip Agbese, has reaffirmed Speaker Abbas Tajudeen’s strong leadership.
Agbese,, who said this while speaking with newsmen at the National Assembly in Abuja on Wednesday, disclosed that the House remained one and had been working hard even while on recess to make Nigeria a great place for all citizens.
The lawmaker stated that the speaker had resolved to showcase an effective style of governance with the resolution by members to unite behind the speaker.
He stated that the House remained one and had been working hard even when everyone was on recess to make Nigeria a great place for all citizens.
Speaking on the relationship between the leadership of the House and the members, Agbese said it would remain cordial, contrary to expectations from certain quarters.
According to him, the Speaker has done everything to justify the members’ confidence, and we are not unmindful of those working to see that the House is polarised.
According to him, in justifying the principle of first among equals, “primus inter pares,” one must be guided by fairness, equity, and transparency.
“These are the tools Mr. Speaker has deployed to unite the 10th House of Representatives to send everyone into a state of honey money.
“Abbas has demonstrated the revolutionary spirit of a true Nigerian patriot from all indications.”
He said members would continue to rally around the speaker to keep the house together and support his vision.
