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”.
