“Delta State is one of the fastest growing States in the country and this leading position we will strive to maintain in the comity of States.
“All we ask for is support and understanding of the people. With such support and understanding, more positive impacts would be made in the lives of the people as well as growth and development of physical infrastructures in the State”.
Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Emomotimi Dennis Guwor stated this while speaking on the anniversary of the creation of Delta State, which is 32 years old today, August 27.
He expressed the commitment of the State Legislature to encourage policies and programmes that will further promote peace, unity, prosperity and good governance in the State.
The Speaker particularly felicitated the Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevrwori for being at the helm of affairs at this time in history, saying that the MORE agenda of his administration promised to consolidate the gains of the past administrations in the state.
While urging the people to keep hope alive and support the government to succeed, Guwor assured that the 8th Assembly under his watch would sustain the sound cordial relationship with the Executive arm of government to further encourage democratic governance as well as to accelerate development across the State.
Said he, ‘we have lived together as a people despite the multi-ethnic nature of the state. Love and unity of purpose have kept us together as one.
“This love and unity I pray shall continue amongst us for peace and development to thrive in the State.
“I want to encourage us all to keep hope alive. The MORE agenda of Oborevwori administration will further consolidate the gains of the past administration and usher in more and greater development across the nooks and crannies of the state.
“We shall continue to synergize with the Executive to ensure sustainable growth and development in the state.
“Every Bill, Motion and Resolution of the House”, he went on, “must be in the interest of the State and its people.
“Our oversight functions will be enhanced to ensure effective implementation of government policies and programmes.
“Once again, on behalf of the leadership and members of the Delta State Assembly and its workforce, I congratulate our amiable Governor and the people of the state on the 32nd anniversary of the creation of the state and pray God to keep the state on the path of progress and development”, he further stated.
