Members of the 7th Nasarawa State House of Assembly have passed a vote of confidence on Speaker Danladi Jatau for his purposeful leadership.
This followed a motion by the Majority Leader, Suleiman Azara, under matters of Public Interest during plenary on Monday in Lafia.
Azara said that the vote of confidence became imperative given the speaker’s commitment to members and staff welfare as well as the development of the legislative institution.
“Mr Speaker, you are a leader to the core. We are proud of you and our people are proud of your leadership qualities.
“We have seen sincerity, integrity, unity, transparency and accountability and our staff are now working diligently under your watch.
“Mr Speaker, you are a unifier, a man of peace, humility, man of justice, a developer and you have provided all inclusive leadership,” he said.
The majority leader assured the Speaker of their loyalty and support at all times.
“We will continue to give you our 100 per cent support to succeed so that together we will continue to enact quality laws and pass resolutions that will have direct bearing on the lives of our people” he said.
All the 19 lawmakers at plenary spoke glowingly about the leadership style of the speaker, which had helped the assembly to achieve some milestones within a short period.
Responding, the Speaker appreciated the lawmakers for the vote of confidence passed on him.
“I am honoured and delighted over the vote of confidence you have passed on my leadership.
“I don’t know that what I am doing you and other people have been watching me.
“On behalf of myself, family, staff and the Deputy Speaker, I want to appreciate you for the vote of confidence,” he said.
Jatau promised to continue to do his best for the unity of the Assembly and the development of the State.
“I will continue to do my best to unite and carry everybody along irrespective of our religious and political differences,” he said.
