Reps minority caucus congratulates Speaker Abbas at 59
The House of Representatives minority caucus has congratulated the Speaker of the Lower Chamber, Tajudeen Abbas, on his 59th birthday.
The caucus, in a congratulatory message by the minority leader, Kingsley Chinda (PDP-Rivers), on Wednesday in Abuja, applauded Mr Abbas for his commitment to nation-building.
Mr Chinda congratulated the Speaker on the conferment of the Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on him by President Bola Tinubu
He said that the leadership and members of the caucus joined colleagues and associates to felicitate with Mr Abbas on the double celebrations.
The minority leader described the award as a confirmation and a testimony to his exceptional leadership style in piloting the affairs of the green chambers.
He said, “We are happy that since his emergence as the 15th Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, his unapologetic commitment to nation-building and national development has been recognised by the federal government. Given his broad-based, all-inclusive, and servant-leadership style of governance, the award bestowed on him is a worthy and fitting endorsement of his unique and enviable attributes.
“For us, the ‘double honours’ celebrations of Speaker Abbas’ birthday anniversary and national awards represent a glowing testament to the continued legacy of service to the country. This is a testament to an unusual intellectual-politician who exhibits transparency, fairness, hard work, discipline and altruism at all times.’’
Mr Chinda said that the caucus also felicitated the Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, on the conferment of Commander of the Order of Niger on him by the President.
