The Rector of Kogi State Polytechnic, Salisu Ogbo has congratulated the House of Representatives member representing Ankpa Federal Constituency, Hon. Abdullahi Halims on his emergence as the Deputy Majority Leader of the House.

Ogbo in a personally signed message which was made available to InsideStory on Wednesday morning, expressed immeasurable pride to identify with the lawmaker on his recent feat.

The state reads: “I feel highly elated to congratulate my dear brother, friend and Honourable Member representing the good people of Ankpa/Olamaboro/Omala Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon. Abdullahi Ibrahim Halims, on his historic emergence as the Deputy Majority Leader of the 10th House of Representatives.

“My Dear Brother, I feel immeasurably proud to identify with you on this latest honour, as it bears eloquent testimony to the fact that you distinguished yourself in both legislative and oversight functions in the 9th Assembly.”

The Rector also paid glowing tributes to the Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, for identifying the resourcefulness in Hon. Halims and supporting him to give worthy representation to the Federal Constituency in both the 9th and 10th Assemblies.

He said It is through the governor’s invaluable trust and support that Ankpa Federal Constituency now has the opportunity to produce a principal officer, the first of its kind for the entire Kogi East, in the National Assembly under the current democratic dispensation.

“While there is no doubt that you acquitted yourself creditably in your first term in the green chamber as evidenced in your numerous legislative and oversight functions, youth/women empowerment and rural development initiatives, this latest elevation calls for more commitment and expansion of focus for the benefit of your Constituency, Kogi State and Nigeria as a whole.

“It is my prayer that you have impactful tenure as the Deputy Majority leader of the 10th House of Representatives.

“Once again, accept my heartfelt felicitations and that of the entire Polytechnic Community on the well-deserved elevation,” he concluded.
