The newly appointed Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Abdussamad Dasuki, has pledged that the new Minority Caucus leadership will provide principled, credible and effective opposition anchored on good governance rather than confrontation.
Speaking in Sokoto while receiving elders of Kebbe/Tambuwal Federal Constituency, Dasuki said the caucus’s core mandate would be accountability, transparency, legislative scrutiny and policies that improve lives.
“Our primary responsibility is not opposition for its own sake, but constructive opposition that promotes good governance, accountability, transparency and laws that improve the lives of Nigerians,” he said.
He said the caucus would draw inspiration from former Minority Leader and now Chief of Staff to the President Femi Gbajabiamila, describing his 2011 to 2015 tenure as a model of effective opposition and a minimum benchmark for the current leadership.
