Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt.Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, on Saturday launched his fifth-term bid at a grand ceremony in Zaria, Kaduna State.

Declaring his intention to contest for the seat of House of Representatives at the Mallawa Eid Ground, Zaria, Abbas used the occasion to list the many democratic dividends his representation has attracted to the people of Zaria Federal Constituency.

Daily Trust reports that thousands of supporters and loyalists of the Speaker embarked on a solidarity walk from the Emir’s Palace, Zaria, through the Babban Dodo, Lemu, Kofar Doka, Tudun Wada axis before arriving at the Mallawa Eid Ground for the declaration.


“These are not theories. These are visible projects. These are measurable results, the Speaker stated, adding that the constituency projects have empowered the constituents and changed lives.

“Today, I formally declare my intention to seek another mandate to represent the good people of Zaria Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

“This declaration is not based on promises alone. It is based on work. It is based on results. It is based on a record that our people can see and verify.

“When you first entrusted me with this responsibility, I made a commitment that representation would not be distant from the people.

“I said leadership must produce visible outcomes. I said public office must improve lives. And together, we have worked to fulfill that promise,” he said.

The Speaker stated that he remained “one of the most active lawmakers in the country,” as he sponsored 74 bills, out of which 21 were signed into law. These were not efforts designed for publicity. They were aimed at solving problems and strengthening governance,” he said.

He stated that his representation brought development closer to the people.

Abbas said, “We supported farmers with tractors, fertilisers, and agricultural equipment because we understand the importance of agriculture to our economy and to the survival of our families.

“We supported transport operators, party structures, community leaders, youth groups, and small business owners with tricycles and motorcycles to improve livelihoods, strengthen mobility, and create opportunities.

“We expanded these interventions on a larger scale by distributing 117 vehicles, 200 tricycles, and 1,000 motorcycles across communities, support groups, religious leaders, polling unit structures, and grassroots stakeholders.

“When our people needed direct economic support, we acted.”

He recalled that 2,400 beneficiaries received direct financial support to strengthen their businesses and support their families, while 800 trained beneficiaries received N250,000 each, with 1,600 small business owners receiving N100,000 each.

“That is practical representation. That is the kind of leadership our people deserve,” Abbas stated.

Daily Trust reports that Abbas was first elected into the House of Representatives in 2011.

Fifth term haba! Is he the only person in that constituency? Yet you are all blaming Tinubu for planning a third term eventhough there is nothing like that. These politicians are worst than the ones you people think are bad.

All man for himself.
You gerit 😀😀😀😀

Birth right position I guess

Human beings naturally and understandably hate what appears entitlement mentality. Yet Abbas is constitutionally allowed to go for a fifth term pitching himself as best candidate.

It is for those who think they can do better to challenge and remove him. Nigerians need to understand the concept of showing up to be the change they want.

Abbas is not the one? Dedicate a focused challenge to depose him or shut up.

He does not have to leave his position to please anyone and he has done no wrong going for another term in office.

The Speaker stated that he remained “one of the most active lawmakers in the country,” as he sponsored 74 bills, out of which 21 were signed into law. These were not efforts designed for publicity. They were aimed at solving problems and strengthening governance,” he said.

People like Abaribe are yet to sponsor one bill for more than 20years..

Northern politicians are way too smart than most southern politicians joor..

Once they bribe the yoot 2k, like our OBI....... DENTS,it is done deal

Many of these APC men ain't going back.
ADC/NDC will take over.

Obidients will condemn him without any reference to Abaribe(IPOB Senator)

The only thing they know how to do is keep recycling themselves.

God forbid he wins....

Na him papa job?

Abi na him inheritance

90% Career politicians in this country are very useless and part of the rot in this country.

If you, your brother and your father aren't ready to stop them "recycling" themselves then stop complaining.

No one has told you political leadership is for alien from Mars or Jupiter alone. You can get involved to be the change you want or stop those you believe are misrulers "recycling" themselves.

Just give the youth 2k each and they will sing on your mandate we stand

lol. 5th term kwa. nor be small thing o

Politics is a retirement program in Nigeria.

THIS CULTURE OF ENTITLEMENTS SHOULD BE DISCOURAGED IN NIGERIA.

He should go and invest in Agriculture in the North.

Imagine 5th term as if it's his entitlement
This country is in bondages

He should put an end to it

Abbas is definitely planning to run for a fifth term. It's a natural progression. It's all about the momentum and the future of the party. they's a solid choice, no doubt. It's a great opportunity to solidify his position and continue the good work. Absolutely!?
