The Taraba State House of Assembly, through its
spokesman, Sale Saad, has stated that those who
claim that the legislature in Taraba state was
controlled by theExecutive arm were entitled to
their opinion, even as he boasted that the House
had lived up to its responsibility.

Speaking with Journalists after plenary, Sale Saad,
who represents Jalingo 2 constituency and a
member of the opposition APC in the state, opined
that the electorate was in a position to ensure that
those they elected did what they were voted to do.

There were insinuations going round in the state
that the legislature was not doing well in checking
the executive and the House was quick to deny that
claim.
“Actually, to those who make these insinuations
are entitled to their opinion, and we cant stop
them. But the fact remains, they are doing their
best as an electorate to see we have done what we
were sworn for.

We have vowed to work tirelessly to ensure
Tarabans enjoy the dividends of democracy. It is
obvious that the House has come out with Bills
that are of direct bearing on the wellbeing of
Tarabans.
We have passed a Bill on illegal felling of trees, and
we are all witness to what extent it has helped in
the IGR of the state”, he stated.
On why they had to delay the recess until now,
Saad said they did it in the interest of the people.
“We have so many businesses that stopped us
from going which directly touch the wellbeing of
Tarabans.

That was why we had been delayed from going on
recess, taking cognizance of the importance of
what we had at stake.
That is why we deem it necessary to delay and to
go for a break for only two weeks instead of the
initial four weeks”, he concluded.
