The newly appointed Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Rep Abdussamad Dasuki, has pledged that the new Minority Caucus leadership will provide “principled, credible and effective” opposition anchored on good governance rather than confrontation for its own sake.

Speaking in Sokoto on Tuesday while receiving elders and stakeholders of Kebbe/Tambuwal Federal Constituency who came to congratulate him on his emergence, Dasuki outlined the vision of the caucus and said its core mandate would be accountability, transparency, legislative scrutiny and policies that improve the lives of Nigerians.

He declared that the Minority Caucus under the new leadership would remain committed to constructive engagement with the executive while holding government accountable in the national interest at all times.
