A speakership hopeful of the house of representatives, Tajudeen Abbas has stated that the 10th assembly won’t be a rubber-stamp if he’s elected.<\/p>\n

This was made known on Thursday by Abbas\u00a0while briefing journalists after meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the presidential villa.<\/span><\/p>\n

The All Progressives Congress (APC)<\/a> had nominated Abbas and Benjamin Kalu for the positions of speaker and deputy speaker of the house of representatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abbas said the ninth assembly which was perceived to be a \u201crubber-stamp\u201d has been \u201cthe best\u201d in the nation\u2019s history by working with the executive for good governance.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said previous assemblies where the presiding officers were not nominated by the ruling party did not perform more than the ninth parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n

Femi Gbajabiamila and Ahmad Lawan were the preferred candidates of the APC for the ninth national assembly leadership positions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe ninth assembly is by far and I say it with all sense of humility, the best national assembly, that the legislature<\/a> and the executive had a very mutually beneficial relationship,\u201d Abbas said.<\/span><\/p>\n

So many things were accomplished. So many things that ordinarily we would not have thought or contemplated would be achieved, were achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo whoever is talking about the rubber stamp national assembly does not know the workings of the national assembly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNobody, speaker or senate president, deputy speaker or senate president \u2014 nobody can manipulate the 360 members of the house of representatives to make them do what is not in the best interest of the public.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have shown from our conduct in the ninth assembly that for the very first time, even with the cordial relationship between the executive and the legislature, we had cause for the very first time to summon Mr President (Muhammadu Buhari) to come to the national assembly<\/a> to address some issues of security as at that time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Abbas said there has \u201cnever been any compromise\u201d in the national assembly and that the autonomy of the parliament has always been maintained and would continue to be so.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be no way that the independence of our national assembly under our leadership will be compromised. This you can take to the market,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
