Members of the House of Representatives have been asked to rise above partisan interest to deliver good governance to Nigerians.

The call was made on Tuesday, July 4, at the resumption of plenary by Tajudeen Abbas, speaker of the house.

“Dear colleagues, I want to believe that during our recess, we had the opportunity to interact with our constituents, to hear their concerns, and to witness first-hand the challenges they face in their daily lives,” he said.

“This connection, and bond between representatives and the people we serve, lies at the core of our democratic principles. So, as we gather here today, we must recognise the immense responsibility placed upon our shoulders.

“We have been entrusted with enacting legislation that will address our people’s general well-being and shape our nation’s future. The issues before us are complex, and the expectations of our citizens are high. We must rise above personal and partisan interests and work together for our collective success,” he added.

Abbas declared that Nigeria’s current situation requires immediate attention and action.

He said that they must give legislative support to the executive to improve Nigerians’ living standards.

His words:

“I need not remind us that our constituents are going through so many difficulties following the stoppage of government subsidies on petroleum products.

“Though taken in the nation’s best interest, this singular action has occasioned increased commodity prices, transportation, and operational costs for businesses and the general cost of living. 

“As the executive comes with policies and programmes to alleviate the impact of the subsidy removal, we must be ready to respond with the necessary legislative actions in this regard.”
