their colleagues to lead them in the 10th Assembly.
He urged them to do everything possible within their disposal to justify these trust and confidence they reposed on them in discharging their legislative functions.
He said they should not focus on their colleagues alone, but lead the National Assembly to come out with qualitative laws that will enhance abundant life for the people of Nigeria.
While commenting on the capacity and competence of the two leaders, Santali, urged them to work closely and cooperate with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu so as to enable him discharge and implement all the projects and policies encapsulate in his Renewed Hope agenda for the people of Nigeria.
