Nasarawa APC applauds Abdullahi on election as House Speaker

The recently elected Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Ibrahim Abdullahi, has received congratulations from the All Progressives Congress in Nasarawa State.

Daniel Ogazi, one of Abdullahi’s top candidates for the job, withdrew from the contest on Friday after speaking with journalists about his commitment to completely support the Speaker who had held the office for the previous eight years.

The party claimed that Abdullahi’s election and subsequent swearing-in were victories for the people of Nasarawa State in a statement that was signed by the state’s publicity secretary, Douglas Otaru, and provided to our correspondent in Lafia on Saturday.

The party bemoaned that some lawmakers were to blame for the recent crisis that gripped the Assembly because they did not want state people to continue to live in peace and harmony.

“May we use this medium to, on behalf of the executive and members of the APC, congratulate all members of the 7th Assembly for the successful and cordial resolution which has ultimately led to the inauguration of Hon. Ibrahim Balarabe Abdullahi as Speaker of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly,” the statement reads.

“Some individuals who use any situation for their own gain were responsible for the impasse’s protracted cycle.

Ogazi and other factional members receive praise from the Nasarawa State APC for their display of patriotism. We encourage all 24 members to support the programmes and policies of Governor Abdullahi Sule’s administration to ensure quick growth for our beloved state as we look forward to a more robust and effective legislative tenure in office.
