The member representing Okitipupa/Irele federal constituency in the House of Representatives Hon. Michael Adeniyi Omogbehin has congratulated the Speaker of the House over his emergence. Hon. Omogbehin said the emergence was good for our democracy considering the fact that it is the most competitive process that has brought forth a leader of the House since the inception of our current democracy.

Hon. Mike Adeniyi Omogbehin who spoke with Parliamentary Info said as a new member of the House of Representatives, he has nothing much to give as advice to the Speaker other than to advise him to quickly settle down to the business of running the green chamber effectively for the betterment of the country. He said he believes that Rt. Hon. Dogara as an experienced member of the House will not disappoint the Nigerian people.

He commended the Speaker for presenting his legislative agenda on the floor of the House stressing that it will be a basis for which the House will be directed. “Today, the Speaker of the House presented his legislative agenda. It is like a road map and I want to say that he is standing on a good pedestal” Hon. Omogbehin stated.

On his own legislative agenda, the member representing Okitipupa/Irele Federal Constituency said his activities in the House will be hinged on effective representation. He said his constituents elected him to offer quality and effective representation in the House of Reps and he will not disappoint them. He said he will ensure that laws that will be made in the House do not run repugnant to the cultures and traditions of the people of Nigeria. He said as a trained Project Manager, he will do much to ensure that the issue of white elephant projects is eliminated. Hon. Omogbehin decried the failure of many projects in the country. “As a member of the Nigerian parliament, I am going to look at ways we will ensure that legislative inputs will be made to eradicate the issue of white elephant projects in the country because it definitely does not do the country’s quest for development any good” he said.
