The 9th National Assembly Has Met All The Expectations Of Nigerians – Gbajabiamila

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila has come out to say that the 9th National Assembly is faced with more challenges than the previous ones.

He recently revealed this while unveiling the maiden calendar of the House of Reps Press Corps on Tuesday at the National Assembly.

According to him, the 9th Assembly came at an unprecedented time, and it has been through a lot, especially during the coronavirus pandemic.

Femi, however, added that with the cooperation of the media, he is happy to announce that the parliament has met up to all the expectations of Nigerians.

His words, “Each time I have the opportunity to talk to you, I always tell you, we should work and continue to hold our feet to the fire and that’s your job. You must do that but do it with a little bit of responsibility after investigation.”

“Let the Press Corps of the House of Representatives be different from any other Press Corps you can imagine. Different not just in the sense that you carry out your journalistic responsibility objectively and professionally; you have been doing that so far, but we need to cross that Rubicon with a little bit more and we will get to the promised land.”

“So, the 9th is saddled with a lot of responsibilities like no other Assembly has ever been saddled with. But I’m glad that with your support and cooperation, we are trying our best to meet these responsibilities and these challenges as best as we can.”

“There are still going to be challenges ahead and by God’s grace, we will meet them. We will continue with our symbiotic relationship and I hope that by the time we are done, this 9th Assembly and this 9th House Press Corps will be remembered for good.”
