The APC in a statement issued on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa Onilu, stated this while felicitating with Wase on his 56th birthday ceremony.
According to the statement, the deputy speaker’s leadership quality had also resulted in the Legislative-Executive cooperation which has brought about “many pro-people legislative interventions and good governance.”
