Agbese Credits Speaker Tajudeen for Opposition Support to Tinubu

Philip Agbese (Rep, Ado/Ogbadigbo/Okpokwu), the Deputy Spokesperson of the Labour Party and a lawmaker representing Ado/Ogbadibo/Okpokwu Federal Constituency in Benue State, stated that the increasing support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from opposition members in the House of Representatives is a direct result of Speaker Abbas Tajudeen's leadership. In an interview on November 10 in Abuja, Agbese emphasized that Speaker Abbas has created a working environment that prioritizes national issues over party loyalty, allowing lawmakers from various platforms to engage meaningfully in legislative activities.

He noted that the distribution of committee positions has been democratic and inclusive, fostering a culture of consultation and respect. Agbese clarified that the cooperation observed in the House should not be mistaken for political realignment but is a product of the Speaker's leadership style, which encourages evaluation of government policies based on merit.

He stressed the importance of cross-party collaboration for national development as political activities for the 2027 elections intensify.
