At exactly 1:40pm today. We buried our Dear Mother, who was a very kind and upright personality. She was very dear to our family and everyone who comes across her
Today, I inspected the newly renovated chambers of the House in the company of my predecessor, the Chief of Staff to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, and the Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu. We were also accompanied by several principal officers and members of the House.
I was impressed by the quality of work done. I was particularly delighted by the new look that the chambers now wear as well as the facilities installed therein. The success of this renovation reinforces our confidence in local contractors.
We also inspected the National Assembly Library complex. Both the chambers renovation and the library complex were the initiatives of my predecessor, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.
I thanked him for finding time to be a part of the historic inspection.
We are now set to resume plenary sessions at the renovated chambers.
BUHARI: A MONUMENTAL FAILURE, FRAUD & APRIL- FOOL. Buhari simply qualifies for the guiness book of record and hall of shame for fooling, deceiving many Nigerian & and destroying Nigeria beyond imagination and repairs. His 8 years, along with 95% of all his appointees, represented SADISM ever known to the human soul. It represents unimaginable human capacity to destroy, steal, and pretend . In the manner they destroyed Nigeria, in the same way, they shall be destroyed and decimated InshaAllah.

I condemn Zaria killings
"The attack that led to the killings of our two innocent brothers at Kofar Gayan was most calamitous, horrendous, tragic, heinous and disgusting.
"It was most unfortunate that when innocent people were going about their normal and legitimate activities, others were planning evil to disturb the peace enjoyed by everyone.
"The action of those behind this dastardly act stands condemned, and I call on the security agencies to swing into action immediately to fish out the perpetrators. This evil act must not be allowed to go unchecked.
"My heart goes out to the families of those that lost their loved ones. I pray that Allah (SWT) will grant the departed Jannatul Firdaus and give the families the fortitude to bear the painful and irreparable loss."
