During a Ramadan fast-breaking dinner hosted by Bola Tinubu, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, assured that any bill brought forward by the Tinubu administration would swiftly pass through the National Assembly.
Abbas, addressing over 60 House members at the dinner, highlighted the prompt processing of recent presidential bills in the House, emphasizing the efficiency demonstrated in handling legislative matters.
He described the rapid turnaround of bills within 48 hours as a commendable feat, attributing it to the profound respect members hold for Tinubu.
In a video shared by Channels Television on Thursday, Abbas emphasized the unanimity of support within the House for Tinubu and his policies, asserting the absence of dissenting voices against the administration’s initiatives.

He said, “Your Excellency, if I tell you that in this month of Ramadan, we are breaking our fast for the 10th time and if you look at your administration, it is in the 10th month. So this is a very divine day, a day that God has gathered us to make things happen, for miracle to happen for this country to go forward.
“So it’s our prayer, Your Excellency, that this meeting will open a better chapter of the relationship between the executive and House in such a way that we would continue to work in synergy, in unity on purpose between the two of us. So far so good Your Excellency, the House is very supportive of you, the House loves you very well, and there is hardly any dissenting voice in the House today and yesterday against any of your policies.
“The House has always supported what you do and we shall continue to strive in ensuring that we operate as one – the executive and the legislature together. We want to ensure that whatever you bring will see the light of the day, both in the House of Representatives and in the Senate.
“You can see an example of the acid test of members’ support and solidarity. Just within the last three, or four days, about three bills came from the Presidency and they were all expected to be treated expeditiously.
“And the House and the Senate did not relent, Your Excellency, in ensuring that we delivered a miracle because what we did is just short of being called a miracle – delivering bills within 48 hours is not an easy task but that is exactly what the National Assembly did because of the sheer respect it has for you.
“So this is what we want to continue, this is what we will sustain in the months and years to come.”
