“It is worthy to note that the speakership campaign witnessed in the past few months was democracy at play. But today, all of that has come to pass, and it is time to forge ahead and work together for our people for our common good,” he said.
Although the campaign for the speakership was long and tough, some of the aspirants stepped down for Mr Abbas, who earlier got the endorsement of President Bola Tinubu, the ruling All Progressives Congress and the former Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila.He also promised that the 10th House would surpass the achievements of the last House led by Mr Gbajabiamila.
“We shall work closely and interdependently with the Executive and Judiciary to give Nigerians the good governance they deserve. We stand at a crucial juncture in our nation’s history, where challenges abound, but so do opportunities. We will champion legislations that will uplift the lives of our fellow citizens, promote social justice, and drive sustainable development,” the speaker said
