Listen to this article in audio

The idea of ​​creating a framework for consultation with those who held the mallet before him was raised on June 27, 2019 on the outer esplanade of the Palais des Gouverneurs by President Louis G. VLAVONOU invested on behalf of the 8th Legislature. Reappointed President of the National Assembly on behalf of the 9th Legislature, he intends to go a little far and plans to pay tribute to his predecessors at the perch of the Beninese Parliament. He made it known this Thursday, April 13, 2023 on the occasion of his second investiture organized on the same premises. For President VLAVONOU, celebrating the dead is not a bad thing in itself. But we must change the paradigm and start by recognizing the meritorious acts of loved ones by celebrating them during their lifetime. And according to his words, it will be so for Adrien HOUNGBÉDJI, Bruno AMOUSSOU, Antoine Kolawolé IDJI, Mathurin Coffi NAGO and the late Bishop Isidore de SOUZA, all former Presidents of the National Assembly.

“…I would like to salute the meritorious actions of my four (04) predecessors at the perch of the National Assembly in its current version. Without concealing anything in the mythical place of the late Catholic prelate, Monsignor Isidore de SOUZA, I will set up a mixed team responsible for preparing mixtures in tribute to Presidents Adrien HOUNGBEDJIi, Bruno AMOUSSOU, Kolawolé Antoine IDJI and Mathurin Coffi NAGO. And why not, without having been perched, revisit the life of an emblematic figure of our parliament, Mrs Rosine VIERRA SOGLO? It is time for their respective passages at the head of the institution to be deciphered, in the light of historical hindsight, the testimonies of their contemporaries and a rigorous multidisciplinary analysis…” declared President Louis G. VLAVONOU.
