The Delta State House of Assembly, has passed a vote of implicit
confidence on Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan for his policies and programmes
geared towards the upliftment of the state and its people.
It also passed a confidence vote on the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Peter Onwusanya,
for the collaborative effort with the governor towards promoting the
wellbeing of Deltans.
The House dispels rumour of impeachment notice against Governor Emmanuel
Uduaghan as being peddled in some quarters, saying the vote of confidence
passed on him was an affirmation that such moves was never an issue in the
house.
The vote of implicit confidence passed on the duo stemmed from a motion of
Matters of Urgent Public Importance moved by the Deputy Majority Leader,
Hon. Prince Johnson Erijo and seconded by the member representing Warri
South Constituency 11, Hon (Barr) Dennis Omovie.
The motion which came at a time when the excellent performance of the
Governor Uduaghan’s administration had again been acknowledged by one of
the most critical voice in the media industry, The Leadership Newspapers,
was unanimously supported by the house presided upon by the Speaker, Hon.
Peter Onwusanya.
Leading debate on the motion, Hon Erijo, noted that the vote of implicit
confidence on the Governor is apt on the day he was been honoured by the
Leadership Newspapers as the Leadership Newspaper “Governor of the Year”
Award.
According to him, “the Governor has effectively used his three-point
agenda to touch all facets of the economy for even development of the
state in the past seven years of his administration”.
He said the Governor’s giant strides in the socio-economic development of
the state for the past seven years are noticeable in all facets of the
economy, saying the house has always passed the Appropriation Bills
brought before it in record time to bring the Governor’s vision to
fruition.
Hon Erijo who spoke alongside his colleagues, including: Tim Owhefere,
Samuel Mariere, Rufus Akpodiete and Joseph Oshevire, said Governor
Uduaghan’s vision of Delta beyond Oil capable of creating industrial
revolution in the state which the Federal Government has also keyed into
was another way of guaranteeing the future of Deltans through gainful
employment.
While saying members of the house would continue to support the Governor’s
policy of developing Delta Beyond Oil, Hon. Erijo, commended the Speaker,
Hon. Onwusanya, for his “all-inclusive” administration in the Fifth
Assembly.
In an interview shortly after plenary, Hon. Erijo, who is the Chairman,
House Committee on Information, dispel rumour of impeachment notice on
Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, describing the report as frivolous and
handiwork of the enemies of the state.
