Leadership Style Of Akpabio Enhanced Synergy In NASS – Kalu

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Benjamin Okezie Kalu says the
South East Development Commission Bill when assented to by the President will heal the wounds orchestrated by the Nigerian civil war.

Speaking at the Homecoming Reception of the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State, Kalu who also represented the Speaker of the House, Dr. Tajudeen Abbas, expressed gratitude to the Senate President for supporting the passage of the bill through the third reading in the Senate.

He said: “You showed that you are a good leader and good in-law knowing that the South East for over five decades has not enjoyed the reconciliation and rehabilitation that they needed, post civil war.

“And you believed alongside myself that it is a strategic tool. With that bill, we will give answers to all the hydraheaded questions in the minds of the south eastern people. I thank you, for that has brought a lot of peace in southeast because there’s hope that the president will assent to it. God bless you, God bless Akwa Ibom people, God bless Nigeria”.

Appreciating Akpabio for also supporting the administration of President Tinubu, Kalu revealed that the leadership style of the Senate President has brought unprecedented synergy between the Senate and the House.

“I want to commend you for the support you’ve been giving to the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Your support is genuine and sincere”.

“You’ve exemplified the fact that though we are three arms of government, we are one government with one national objective.

“The renewed Hope agenda of the executive, Mr Senate President, has influenced the legislative agenda of the parliament. And you’ve consciously, deliberately ensured that at all times, necessary support is given to the executive for them to achieve their goal.
Little wonder we have the cohesion that we enjoy in Nigeria between the arms of government.

“In the parliament, you’ve been a stabilizing force. In Akwa Ibom you’ve written your name in gold”

“Many don’t know that if you let loose, there will be a lot of trouble between the two chambers. We’ll speak in different tones. Because of your leadership style, your partnership spirit, the senate and the House of Representatives at all times speak with one voice. Thank you for your leadership”.

“We also want to thank you for how you partnered with the House to make sure that the budget of the federal republic of Nigeria came out early, as expected by the constitution. That’s why today both the private and the public sectors were able to make economic projections with their plan for nation building.”, Kalu said.
