“We thank Almighty God for helping us achieve that,” Lawan said.
“Let me commend this senate for standing tall. We are rounding the year on a very high note, we passed the PIB and it is not an act, something that was not passed for over 20 years.
“We passed the electoral bill but we know there are some reservations, so we will look at it with the house of representatives. I am sure that this senate and the national assembly have done a lot in legislative intervention.
“I want to commend Nigerians, we take your advice. This national assembly is for all Nigerians.”
