While noting that democracy had been entrenched in Nigeria by the very act of the inauguration, he said that Nigerians were full of expectations from the 10th Assembly for better living conditions.

He further said: “I congratulate the National Assembly and Nigerians at large on the success of the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly.

 “We may not have gotten to where we ought to be in terms of all indexes for measuring societal development, but definitely, we are not where we used to be in terms of refining the laws that further push us closer towards the democratic traits by which advanced democracies are known.”
