Shettima also praised the Speaker for his “stellar leadership” in the National Assembly, adding the stability in the House of Representatives despite having nearly 70 per cent of members as newly sworn-in.

He said:
We wish you well, and Insha Allah, you are one of the fulcrums of our democratic journey.”

On the other hand, Tajudeen extended his condolences to Shettima, Tinubu, and the people of Borno State, assuring that the National Assembly will provide support for the affected community.

He said:

We in the National Assembly are looking into what kind of support we can give to the people affected. We share your pains; we share your concerns; we are together in this from the beginning to the end.”

The Vice President also stressed the importance of a harmonious relationship among the executive, legislature, and judiciary in sustaining democracy in Nigeria.
