Responding to the motion, the Speaker of the House, Mr Martin Amaewhule (Obio/Akpor I), described President Tinubu as a compassionate leader committed to repositioning Nigeria on the path of growth and development.
He also lauded the strategic economic policies of the Tinubu-led administration, describing them as impactful and people-oriented.
