Oborevwori who stated this during the commemoration of the third Anniversary of the Seventh Assembly of DTHA, said that most bills signed by the Assembly are in the interest of Deltans.


He mooted that unnecessary friction with the executive would impact negatively on development of the state.


" The House received 25 bills of which 5 were private member bills. Out of 25, 21bulls have been passed.


You cannot compare Delta House of Assembly with any other in Nigeria in terms of vibrancy. Some people say we are rubber stamp that is not true because most of our bills are people oriented bills" he asserted.

He stated that the success recorded by the Assembly is unconnected to the through financial autonomy and respect for the separation of power by incumbent Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa.
