An All Progressives Congress (APC)
leader in Lagos State, Hon Adeyinka Adedoyin, on Tuesday said the election of
Rt. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila as Speaker of the House of Representatives was a sign
of further development, true federalism and respect for the rule of law in
Nigeria.
Adedoyin spoke at a gathering of
religious leaders, politicians, women and youth leaders in Surulere.
He said Gbajabiamila’s victory was
well deserved as “it is the result of hard work, confidence and above all,
God’s intervention.”
“I consider it remarkable that
the representative of Surulere Constituency 1 is occupying the speakership
position. I am confident that those values which inspired the Honourable
Members to elect him will be maintained and even surpassed.”
He called on Gbajabiamila to engage
the National Assembly members, Presidency and the leadership of APC in new and
exciting ways.
Adedoyin who congratulated
Gbajabiamila on his election as Speaker urged him to fashion out strategies to
run his office efficiently and work out how to relate with the presidency
without losing the confidence and respect of Nigerians or his colleagues in the
National Assembly.
“I am sure with the impeccable
credentials, strong character, honest disposition and accessibility,
Gbajabiamila will discharge the burden of the new office and take Nigeria to
new heights.”
Specifically, he urged Gbajabiamila
to ensure that his words and actions promote peace, harmony and development.
He appealed to members of the 9th
Assembly to be committed to their legislative and oversight functions.
