Rep. Philip Agbese (APC-Benue), says the 10th House of Representatives under its current Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, will be a vibration and active one.

Agbese representating Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal  Constituency of Benue, said this while speaking with newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja.

Agbese, who described the emergence of Abbas as speaker of the house of representatives as a unanimous decision, commended lawmakers for overwhelmingly voting him to lead them.

He said that the manner in which Abbas emerged indicated that the house is a united one, hence would be an active one as well.

“We have had few sittings after our inauguration and Nigerians can attest to the fact that the contributions of members on the floor of the house has so far been healthy and interesting.

“I don’t see a docile house of representatives under Abbas; rather I see a house that will be vibrant and live up to its expectations.

”I see a house of representatives that will fulfill its mandate and deliver on the expectations of the Nigerian people.

“I also see a house of representatives that the international community will be proud to identify with”, he said.

Agbese also said that the house of representatives would focus on initiating bills and motions that would have direct bearing on all Nigerians, adding that members of the lower legislative chamber were committed toward the Nigerian project.

“We want to deliver on our campaign promises to the electorate; the masses are waiting for us to provide dividends of democracy to all ,”Agbese added.

The lawmaker  also commended President Bola Tinubu on the ongoing reforms across various sectors of the economy in the nation.

He particularly commended the president for the total removal of fuel subsidy, insisting that such giant move would soon yield positive results across sectors of the economy.

“Peesident Tinubu’s ongoing reforms in the petroleum, security, economic and other sectors is commendable.

“The removal of fuel subsidy is a welcome development because every Nigerian will start enjoying  the dividends.

”However,  I call on the Federal Government to urgently provide palliative to Nigerians to cushion the effect of subsidy removal,”.(NAN)
