Advising the nominees after the screening, the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Michael Ogbere, enjoined them to work as a team with those they meet on ground, and remain loyal to the government at all times.
Also, leader of the Assembly, Rt. Hon. Monday-Bubou Edwin Obolo said the people of the state expect a lot from them, adding that the House will do its best to keep them on their toes, through its oversight functions while giving them the needed legislative support where necessary.
