Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has praised Chief Bola Tinubu for his leadership, stating that food and prosperity are increasing under his administration.
Speaking at the president’s Ikoyi residence on Wednesday, Mr Abbas commended Tinubu for granting all requests made by the National Assembly and claimed that the government has brought relief to poor Nigerians.
Abbas stated, ”This is historic. This is commendable. We need to thank you for that. I also want to thank you for bringing more succour to the poor.
”Nigerians had more challenges at the beginning of 2023, but as the year ended, more food and prosperity started pouring in. We believe 2025 will be the ultimate year where every Nigerian will be proud of this administration.”
Mr Abbas also appreciated Tinubu, claiming his government has brought succour to poor Nigerians.
”The National Assembly should consider itself lucky, and to God be the glory, Mr President, the National Assembly today is more united than ever.
”The National Assembly is more fulfilled than ever before because there is nothing we have ever knocked on your door to request for the National Assembly that you have not obliged,” he added.
The commendation comes amidst widespread economic challenges, including unprecedented inflation of over 34 per cent and a deepening cost-of-living crisis.
