We have made huge success as a people in these last 27 years of living together. All  sectors in the State have been developed fully to the admiration of Deltans.

We can achieve so many things in the state when we remain united. We cannot afford to fail our founding fathers. We should maintain the existing ethnic harmony in the State as this is the only way to attract more investors and development  to the State”

The Speaker added that;” At 27 years of creation, we have every reason to roll out the drums to  celebrate in Delta State and as we mark another anniversary of the creation of our dear state,  my assurance to Deltans on behalf of the  State  Legislature is that, we  will  remain  focused, very articulate and we are going to do very well in the days, weeks, months and years ahead. Deltans should expect more robust debates.  We will continue  to dwell more on people oriented  bills and  also give adequate attention to our oversight functions and sustain the cordial relationship between the Executive and the Legislature. We will continue to work round the clocks for more Bills to be passed and assented to”.
