Press Release!!!


10th NASS: 10 REASONS WHY RT. HON. TAJUDEEN ABASS/BEN KALU SHOULD BE SPEAKER, DEPUTY SPEAKER.

A day to the inauguration of the 10th Assembly, the Coalition of APC Northwest Support Group, has step up sensitization, mobilization and engagement, on the need to have a vibrant, committed, and independent 10th Assembly.

The Coalition of APC Northwest Support Group, as good governance think Thank, won't lay down its guard, as it is just a Day before inauguration. We are compelled to make the following statements.

1. There must be a stable country first, before any political actor can reap any political benefits. The stability of a country, rest partly in the legislative duties to complement the Executive. Therefore, Nigeria is in dire need of policy direction, and need a stable legislature. At the moment, the most prepared for such task is Rt Hon Tajudeen Abass/Ben Kalu.

2. We must commend some members of the G-6, particularly Hon. Mukhtar Aliyu Betara and Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, for the spirit of sportsmanship, maturity and patriotism. For agreeing to support Hon. Abass, is a sign of political expediency. We call on other members to follow suit.

3. Nigeria's future looks promising, with the new administration of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The vibrant leadership, of the HoR, which can be achieved through the joint ticket of Hon. Abass/ Kalu, will further consolidate the gains made so far, where investors will flock the country.

4. It is just a day to the inauguration of the 10th Assembly, we call on undecided and aggrieved Members-elect, to coalesce and join forces to actualize the Hon. Abass/Kalu ticket, which signifies unity and progress.

5. Time for partisanship is over. The interest of the country should supercede any other factors. Because, the task before the 10th Assembly is huge. A united ticket of Hon. Abass/ Kalu guarantees the new vision and resilience in leadership and nation building.

6. It is a Democracy Day today, we urge all Members-elect, to as democrats, demonstrate in practice the principle of internal cohesion by aligning with the ticket of Hon. Abass/Kalu, to make the process flourish.

7. The House of Representatives, in all Democracies around the world, is a vibrant arm, which mars or makes a country. In recent times, there has been calls to have a single Legislative arm of government, which is the HoR.
This is a Vote of Confidence. Members should unite and make the House Leadership more alluring. The Hon. Abass/Kalu is sure path to achieve that.

9. By his nature, Hon. Abass is calm, unassuming and charismatic. He won't be vindictive. As Speaker, he will carry along everyone, regardless of party affiliations. Himself ànd Hon. Ben Kalu are team players.

10. Posterity and history will always be the ultimate judge. Members-elect should see through the goodwill President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu enjoyed so far from Nigerians, and work with him to reposition the country. This can only be achieved with the help and support of a great National Assembly, in which in his wisdom, settled for the people's choice of Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abass and Benjamin Kalu.
