    "content": "To you, hon. Members, I thank you all for believing in me. I thank you for showing confidence in me by electing me your Speaker. From this moment and moving forward, the institution of the National Assembly and Parliament becomes my constituency. This is the greatest privilege of my professional life to occupy. I am deeply humbled. The onus is now on me to keep the promise of discharging my duties with fairness and impartiality. I will not let you down. It is my greatest aspiration to selflessly serve in my new capacity as your Speaker. It is on this very premise and conviction that I unreservedly submit to the will of this House. I am well aware of the heightened expectations of the membership of the House. The complexities of managing a process in a bicameral legislature present new but exciting challenges. I see it as a unique opportunity for us to do things in a different yet efficient manner. On my part, I also undertake to work closely with the Speaker of the Senate to facilitate smooth running of the affairs of Parliament and the Executive. This is a crucial requirement in bicameralism, more so, in the initial stages of a nascent presidential system of government."
