Hon. Aniekwe Peter, the newly Inaugurated Member of the House of Representatives, representing Anambra East/West Federal Constituency, has said that the 10th National Assembly will work in harmony with the executive for the overall good of the citizenry.
He, however, warned that the 10th assembly won't be a rubber stamp, stressing that he and his colleagues will not compromise on checking and balancing the executive arm of government.
The lawmaker stated this on the sideline of an inauguration reception held in his honour at City Park, Abuja, on Tuesday.
He said he was delighted to be formally inaugurated as a Congressman, expressing his eagerness to serve the good people of Anambra East/West Federal Constituency, and Nigerians at large.
Hon. Aniekwe said, "I'm overwhelmed! Because today is a great day in my life; after the inauguration, it happens to be that I have been confirmed as a Member House of Representatives. So, it's something of joy to me. And you can see my friends, my family members, and my well-wishers, all of us are here to celebrate together.
"We as lawmakers of the 10th assembly have to change the ways things are being done because we have so many unimplemented policies. So, we want to make sure this 10th House of Representatives that we did that which others did not do by working in harmony with the executive to meet the needs of the masses of this country, Nigeria.
"It's going to be a robust 10th Assembly that we can not compromise because a lot is being expected from us by the Nigerian people."
He reinstated his commitment to deliver his campaign promises to his constituents, assuring them of quality and all-inclusive representation.
