President Bola Tinubu has sent warm felicitations to the Speaker of the 10th House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, as he marks his 58th year on Nigeria’s Independence Day.
The President said he shares 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 also noted that the Iyan Zazzau had equally served in numerous Committees in the House, such as Commerce, Finance, Special Duties, Defence, and 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.
Tinubu prayed that God Almighty will continue to grant the respected academician greater wisdom and strength as he successfully sustains the legacy of stable and productive leadership in the House of Representatives.
