“We are happy to receive you as one of us, and pray that you continue to abide by the oath of office you have taken. “We are sure your presence here will contribute to the development of the House and the state,” he said.
The Speaker congratulated Hon. Amajirionwu on his success at the poll, after which he took the oath of office and his seat.
The Speaker further lauded all the lawmakers, the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state and the people of Ngor-Okpala for working for the ruling party.
