The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Tajudeen Abbas, has urged Nigerians to continue to pray and support President Bola Tinubu and the 10th National Assembly.
The Speaker made the appeal on Monday at the launch of a humanitarian outreach by Hon Peter Akpanke (PDP-Cross River), the member for Bekwara/Obudu/Obanliku Federal Constituency.
The outreach took place across the Local Government Areas that make up the Federal Constituency.
Represented by Hon Philip Agbese (APC- Benue), the member for Ado/ Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency, the Speaker said Nigerians must imbibe the virtues of patriotism, selflessness, and nation-building at all times.
He noted that Hon Akpanke is a role model for Nigerians as he has dedicated his time, resources, and many others to better the lives of his people.
The Speaker described Akpanke as a good example of the 10th House of Representatives, who resolved to give back to their people during this difficult period.
Rt Hon Abbas, therefore, charged members of the House to be more altruistic in their dealings with the masses.
He said their primary duty is the welfare of their constituents who they have sworn to uphold at all times.
The Speaker, however, pledged that the leadership of the 10th House will enhance its people-oriented and pro-Nigerian agenda to improve living conditions for citizens.
