SPEAKER of the House of
Representatives, Honourable Aminu Tambuwal, on Tuesday, said with elections
scheduled for early 2015, all leaders must avoid acts that heat up the polity.
He equally urged Nigerians to work
tirelessly to promote the tenets of democracy, good governance and responsible
citizenry.
The speaker, in a statement to mark
Nigeria;s Independence Day anniversary, issued in Abuja by his Special Adviser
on Media and Public Affairs, Malam Imam Imam, also tasked the political
elite to moderate their utterances and be mindful of their responsibility to
the country.
“What is of paramount importance now
is for political office holders to approach elections with the intentions to
play by the rules,” he said.
Tambuwal restated the commitment of
the House of Representatives to uphold the ideals of a united Nigeria which, he
said, would take its rightful place in the comity of nations.
