The aspiration of Hon Tajuddeen Abbas for the speakership of the 10th House of Representatives has received a big boost as Leadership and Role Model Foundation, (LARMFON), has called on members of the House of Representatives to support his emergence.
This was contained in a communique signed by Hon. Ahmed Tijjani Mustapha, Executive Secretary (Awards), after its meeting to appoint a new Chairman, Governing Council of the Foundation.
The communique reads in part;
“Hon. Abbas as Speaker would usher in a new sense of responsibility and will ensure that the Nigerian youth and the people are fully represented.
“Nigerians will have the opportunity of a leader with the basic knowledge of Nigeria’s problem, the zeal and capacity to pilot the affairs of the House of Representatives,” the Foundation said.
The Foundation therefore called on the Nigerian youth and masses to be calm, patient and support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration over the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit otherwise known as petrol and the adjustment in pump prices.
“As usual we all know that the subsidy removal is a tough decision but a courageous one which the previous administration allegedly failed to take on its head.
“We plead with Nigerians to remain calm and be careful of all instigation to cause chaos and instability in the country. We should believe in a united Nigeria and know that the removal is to drive investment and growth that will enable the government give quality education, healthcare, stable power supply, agriculture and also to reduce unemployment and extreme poverty,” the foundation stated.
The group reiterated support to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and pleaded with him to focus on appointing young people with capacity and competence in his government.
