Aliyu Betara (APC-Borno), one of the frontline Speakership aspirants for the 10th House of Representatives, has congratulated President Bola Tinubu as the 16th democratically elected president of Nigeria.
The lawmaker also congratulated Vice President Kashim Shettima and 28 state governors on their successful inauguration on Monday as they lead the country and their states to greater heights.
Mr Betara, in a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen in Abuja on Monday, expressed optimism that the new administration of Tinubu/Shettima would take Nigeria to higher heights.
This, according to him, is a sequel to their records of stewardship while they held sway as governors in their respective states of Lagos and Borno by delivering real dividends of democracy.
He urged Nigerians to give their maximum support to the new leaders to perform and recover the nation towards the path of security, socio-economic revival, unity and development.
Mr Betara pledged to lead a vibrant House of Representatives that would align with the aspirations and policy focus of the two leaders, if elected Speaker.
He said their policies centred around security, unity and development, youth and women empowerment, and the restructuring of the nation for maximum progress.
He said the hope of many Nigerians is renewed because of the proven capacity and capabilities of the captain of the ship of state.
“Without doubt, I believe our nation is heading in the right direction to greater heights. We are assured that New Horizon of greatness is ahead of us as a people and a nation,” said Betara.
Besides, he urged all compatriots to join hands and embrace the incoming administration.
