The President said being elected by their peers as presiding officers remains a great honour that comes with huge responsibility, adding that they justify the confidence reposed in them by their members and many Nigerians.
In his remarks to the challengers, President Tinubu also wished Senator Abdulaziz Yari, Honourable Idris Wase, and Honourable Aminu Jaji, the best and a successful tenure in the 10th National Assembly.
The president urged them to sustain the same level of enthusiasm they brought to the leadership contest in the discharge of their duties to their constituents and Nigeria.
