The lawmaker, representing Ikole constituency 2 in the Ekiti Assembly, said, “I feel humbled and overwhelmed with joy with these feats. Becoming the Vice Chairman of the Conference of Nigerian Speakers connotes that Ekiti State House is fast garnering recognition in national politics and leadership.
“This further signposts that we are being recognized for our efforts in changing the face of governance in Ekiti through the passage of quality and people-centric bills with a high propensity for good governance and that can touch the lives of our people positively.
“Time has come for the lawmakers to show that they are reliable partners to the executive arm. It is time to operate a seamless lawmaking organ that can cohabit effortlessly with the executive arm to make Nigeria great. The task of building a virile nation is determined chiefly by the quality of laws emanating from the legislature.
