Speaking to the media after the first plenary of the 10th National Assembly on Wednesday, Agbese expressed optimism that the House\u2019s decision to elect Abbas will soon have a positive impact on Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Abbas, who represents Zaria Federal Constituency, polled 353 votes to defeat former Deputy Speaker Idris Wase and Sani Jaji.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI\u2019m proud to have supported Hon Abbas to emerge as Speaker of the 10th House of Representatives. I also make bold to say that Nigerians will soon rejoice over our decision to yield to President Tinubu\u2019s endorsement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish to assure Nigerians that with Abbas as Speaker, the 10th House of Reps will break new grounds. We will reach the stars. Ultimately, the goal is to better the lives of Nigerians with people-oriented legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n
