The Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Dennis Guwor, has reaffirmed the Legislature’s dedication to working closely with the Executive Arm to promote lasting peace, good governance, and overall development throughout the state.
He gave this assurance while receiving members of the College of Former Commissioners (2015–2023), who served under former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, during a courtesy visit to the Assembly complex in Asaba.
Rt. Hon. Guwor also praised Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for raising the bar on development, saying his achievements have set a high standard that will be tough for future administrations to beat.
He praised the governor’s achievements as a result of hard work, clear focus, and a strong commitment to fulfilling the goals of his MORE Agenda. He also emphasized that the House of Assembly will keep supporting these efforts by passing relevant laws, carrying out oversight functions, and engaging with key stakeholders.
Guwor applauded the members of the College of Former Commissioners for their dedicated service during the Okowa administration, noting that their impact can still be seen across many sectors in Delta State. He encouraged them to keep supporting the Oborevwori administration and expressed his pleasure that some of them are still actively involved in government.
Earlier, Prince Emmanuel Amgbaduba, former Commissioner for Oil and Gas and Deputy Dean of the College of Former Commissioners, spoke on behalf of the Dean, Sir Fidelis Tilije. He said the purpose of their visit was to appreciate the State Legislature for maintaining a strong and cooperative relationship with the Executive, which has helped promote peace and drive development across Delta State.
Amgbaduba also commended Governor Oborevwori for turning the state into what he called “a construction site,” with numerous projects both completed and ongoing spread across all three senatorial districts.
He assured the governor of the group’s full support for his administration and reaffirmed their commitment to actively backing his re-election bid in 2027.
