Group holds rally, drums support for Abass

Ahead of the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly, a group, Youth Alliance for Renewed Hope, on Monday urged lawmakers in the House of Representatives to ensure the emergence of Tajudeen Abbas as Speaker of the House.

The spokesperson for the group, Dami Adeyi said this during a rally held in Abuja and noted that Abass possessed the right qualities to lead the house for remarkable impact.

He said, “We are standing in solidarity in struggle and in intellectual capacity for Honorable Tajudeen Abbas. Our organization has aligned with the leadership of this new administration and also realigned with the candidacy of Honorable Tajudeen Abbas as Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“He is youth-oriented. We are especially looking for leaders that are youth-oriented and will pass bills to accelerate youth development.”

Also speaking, one of the conveners of the group, Kelvin Agedo, appealed to lawmakers to give Abbas the opportunity to serve by massively voting for him.

“We are here for Honorable Tajudeen Abbas because we believe in his dream for Nigerian youths and there is no other man that is capable of this position.

“Honourable Tajudeen Abbas is the next Speaker and so shall it be as the All Progressives Congress members have said.”
