ಗೌರವಾನ್ವಿತ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷರೇ, ನಾನು ಇಂದು ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ವಿಷಯವು ಮುಂದಿನ ಚುನಾವಣೆಯನ್ನು ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲ, ಮುಂದಿನ ಹಲವು ದಶಕಗಳ ಕಾಲ ಭಾರತೀಯ ಪ್ರಜಾಸತ್ತಾತ್ಮಕ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯ ವಿನ್ಯಾಸವನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸಲಿದೆ. ಮೂರು ಮಸೂದೆಗಳು, ಮೂರು ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ. ಯಾವುದೇ ಮುಕ್ತ ಶಾಸನಾತ್ಮಕ ಸಲಹೆ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪಕ್ಷಗಳ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಚರ್ಚೆ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಚರ್ಚೆಗೆ ಕೆಲವೇ ದಿನಗಳ ಮೊದಲು ಪಠ್ಯವನ್ನು ಹಂಚಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದು ಸೂಕ್ಷ್ಮ ಆಡಳಿತವಲ್ಲ. ಇದು ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ಒಪ್ಪಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ಅಗತ್ಯವಿರುವ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ತುರ್ತು ನಿರ್ಧಾರ ಮಾಡುವ ಕ್ರಮವಾಗಿದೆ. ಗೌರವಾನ್ವಿತ ಗೃಹ ಸಚಿವರಾದ ಅಮಿತ್ ಶಾ ಅವರು ಈ ಮಸೂದೆಯ ಕುರಿತು ಕೇಳಲಾದ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳಿಗೆ “ನಾಳೆ ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ಕೆಜಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೆ ಹೇಳುವಂತೆ ವಿವರಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ” ಎಂದಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರಿಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ. ಈ ಮಸೂದೆ ತರುವ ಮುನ್ನ ಇದನ್ನೆಲ್ಲ ಏಕೆ ಮಾಡಲಿಲ್ಲ? ಎಲ್ಲರ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯವನ್ನು ಏಕೆ ಕೇಳಲಿಲ್ಲ? ಪ್ರಜಾಪ್ರಭುತ್ವದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂವಾದ ಮತ್ತು ಸಹಕಾರ ದೇಶದ ಸಮೃದ್ಧಿಗೆ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಮುಖ್ಯ. #DemocracyMatters #ProtectParliament #LegislativeTransparency #ConsultationFirst

This morning, we declared the 2nd Open Week of the House of Representatives open - not just as ceremony, but as a covenant with the people. Inside the chambers, I presented the Midterm Legislative Scorecard of the 10th Assembly - a mirror of our strides and a compass for the journey ahead. In two years, your House has introduced 2,263 bills, passed 237, and moved over 1,100 motions - many touching lives and triggering real executive action. We've held town halls from cities to campuses, opened up hearings, invited memoranda, and made the people our most vital partners in progress. This Open Week is a platform for truth-telling and bridge-building. From nutrition and food security to women’s representation and youth inclusion, the conversations over the next three days will echo across Nigeria’s future. We’re not just reviewing our past - we’re sharpening our focus for the road ahead. The House is listening, reforming, and recommitting. The goal is clear: to deepen oversight, advance responsive lawmaking, and foster a legislature that lives up to the dreams of its people. My sincere gratitude to our guests: Senate President Akpabio, former Speakers, the Emir of Zazzau, civil society, diplomatic missions, NYSC members, students, and all citizens present today. We are here because you sent us here. Let the people’s voice be louder. Let the people’s parliament be stronger. Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, Ph.D, GCON Speaker, House of Representatives Federal Republic of Nigeria #OpenWeek2025 #10thAssembly #MidtermScorecard #PeoplesParliament #LegislativeTransparency #AbbasTajudeen #Nigeria

🚨 The 2024 Election Agenda: What's Really Happening? 🔍 #ElectionIntegrity #VoteSmart #DemocracyAtRisk Warning: Democracy at Risk. Behind the scenes, an agenda unfolds that threatens the very essence of our voting rights. The 2024 election is shaping up not just as another cycle but as a critical battleground for the integrity of our democracy. Here's what's unfolding and why we need to be on high alert: The Democrats' Playbook: There's a clear strategy in motion to create chaos. They're aiming for missed votes, delays in vote counting, and then they'll play the blame game. Their goal? To point fingers at Trump and his supporters, claiming disruption. #TheBlameGame2024 Our Role in Defense: Allowing this narrative to take root is unacceptable. We must document, observe, and ensure we have the capability for a transparent recount. This isn't about leaving our fate in questionable hands. #WeThePeopleRecount Legal Maneuvers: Keep an eye on legislation. They're pushing laws that could shackle executive powers, making it tougher for Trump to govern if he returns. It's not just about restriction; it's about crippling the ability for swift, positive change. #ExecutiveOrderDebate The Heart of the Matter: This election transcends policy; it's about integrity and peace. Engage with technology, use AI, but most importantly, listen to your heart. Understand your true desires beyond the labels society imposes. #ListenToYourHeart Beware Hidden Agendas: Legislation is being masked. Take New York's recent moves on women's rights, for instance—bills with hidden motives. We must scrutinize, question, and educate ourselves on what's being passed. #LegislativeTransparency Light Over Darkness: Trump's potential return isn't just about him; it's about shining a light on the shadows, exposing truths. The swamp might be strained, and now the ugly creatures are fighting for their lives. This isn't partisan; it's about clarity, justice, and democracy. #LightOverDarkness Call to Action: Educate Yourself: Learn the ins and outs of voting processes, understand the laws, and see how they could skew election outcomes. Engage with Reality: Dive into discussions, use technology, but truly connect with your inner truth. Take Action: Be vigilant, document, and demand transparency. Our democracy's health hinges on our active participation. The swamp might strain, but with our collective light, we can ensure the truth prevails. Let's not just vote; let's protect our right to a fair, transparent election. #VigilantDemocracy #TruthInElections @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr @infowars @Bluzforever #Election2024, #VoterAwareness, #PoliticalStrategy, #TransparencyMatters, #ActionForDemocracy, #VoteWithPurpose, #BeyondThePartyLines
