IGHRAKPATA DESCRIBES ONE YEAR OF 7TH ASSEMBLY AS EVENTFUL, COMMENDS SPEAKER’S LEADERSHIP STYLE

The Deputy Chief Whip of the Delta State House of Assembly, Honourable Solomon Ighrakpata, says one year of the 7th Assembly has been very eventful.

Ighrakpata, who represents the Uvwie constituency in the House, attributed the success story of the Assembly to the Sterling leadership qualities of Honourable Sherrif Oborevwori as Speaker.

The Lawmaker said the Speaker had stood himself out as the Presiding Officer of the House, noting that his leadership style was responsible for the love, understanding and unity among members.

He paid tribute to Oborevwori for the sound synergy between the State Legislature and the other arms of government, describing the cordial relationship existing between the Delta State House of Assembly and the State Executive as unparalleled.

While urging the Speaker to remain focused in his collaborative efforts with other relevant stakeholders in the governance of Delta State, the Uvwie representative commended the other Principal Officers and members for their encouragement to quality leadership in the 7th Assembly.

Ighrakpata, who is also the Chairman, House Committee on Special Duties, assured the people of Uvwie of more robust representation in the state legislature as litigations that characterized a greater part of the year under review had been laid to rest.

While maintaining that there was never a dull moment in the hallowed chamber in the last one year, the Lawmaker said the voice of the people of Uvwie was quite pronounced on the floor of the House during debates on motions and Bills.

He stated that the positions of constituents on any matter before the House were canvassed to logical conclusions during their debates and commended the Speaker for always giving him the opportunity to speak.

Ighrakpata thanked the state Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa for his support and the entire people of Uvwie for their encouragement, patience and understanding.

He said efforts were being intensified for greater human capital and infrastructural development in the constituency, assuring that Uvwie would never be short changed in the scheme of things.

The Legislator urged the people to help sustain the peace, unity of purpose and progress in Uvwie, expressing optimism of better days ahead.
