Peller Bows Out of House Of Reps …Seeks Support For His Successor

The Ayedero of Yorubaland, Honourable (Dr.) Shina Abiola Peller, has urged the returning members of the Federal House of Representatives to extend the relationship they had with him in the last four years to his successor, Honourable Shina Oyedeji aka O’Shine.

Honourable Peller, who represented Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa federal Constituency at the 9th National Assembly, made this appeal yesterday after attending the valedictory session of the House.

Peller, who described the last four years in the House as “awesome” added that it served as great opportunity for him to know how government works, especially in the legislative arm.

The lawmaker recalled that it was a deliberate plan on his part not to return to the House for second term.

He added that his decision was driven by his desire to give room for the other zone in his constituency to produce the next representative, which he said did not happen in the last 16 years.

Similarly, Honourable Peller used the avenue to acknowledge the leadership feats of the outgone Speaker of the House, Rt. Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila, describing it as outstanding and remarkable.

He noted that the former speaker was able to steer, stabilize and put the House together as one in spite of the different political, religious and ethnic affiliation of members.

Honourable Peller thanked his constituents for giving him the opportunity to serve them, and urged them to give overwhelming support to his successor in the overall interest of the constituency.
