Nonetheless, on Tuesday during plenary, the House unanimously approved a motion of urgent public significance introduced by Jimoh Olajide (APC/Lagos).

According to Olajide,   

“Tinubu is a concerned senior citizen whose agenda is to favour the downtrodden for the purpose of humanity.

“The House is convinced that further legislative actions in supporting Mr President in delivering dividends of democracy will go a long way in enhancing development because he asked for it, he campaigned for it. And he is ready for the task ahead.
