The Chairman explained that the infrastructural development they have seen since their arrival in Asaba and the mutual cooperation existing between the executive and legislative arms in the State speak volume on how Governor Okowa is merging resources with passion to serve which is resulting in development.

He thanked the Governor for hosting the Speakers in Delta State and the warm reception accorded to them.

Sheriff Oborevwori explained that the Speakers are in Asaba for their Second Quarter General Meeting which will take place on Saturday, hence the reason for the courtesy visit to the Governor as a mark of respect.
