Governor Oborevwori concluded by urging the Assembly staff to continue their unwavering support for the current Speaker and other principal officers of the Assembly, just as they did during his time as Speaker.

“The House of Assembly is a place for growth and development. It is impossible to go through this experience and remain unchanged. My prayer is that all of us will have successful outcomes in Jesus’ name. I also want to extend my special appreciation to the Speaker and other officers of the House of Assembly for their harmonious relationship with the executive branch,” Oborevwori stated.
