Very Reverend Father Charles Omogiate, the Parish Priest of the St. Paul Catholic Church, Airport Road Benin City, Edo State has admonished lawmakers of the 8th Edo State House of Assembly to continue to embrace peace in the delivery of people’s friendly policies.
The presiding priest also warned against turning their backs on members of their various Constituents whom he said should be their primary considerations in the scheme of things.
Reverend Fr. Omogiate gave the admonition during the thanksgiving ceremony of the 8th Edo State House of Assembly in commemoration of its first anniversary in Benin City.
He urged the members to deliver policies that will promote peace and tranquility, thereby creating a friendly environment for sustainable development.
Recall that 24 members of the 8th Assembly were Inaugurated on June 16, 2023, where they unanimously elected principal officers including, the Speaker, Rt Hon. Blessing Sheriff Agbebaku, the Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon Maria Edeko, the Majority Leader, Hon. Charity Iguodala Aiguobarueghian, the Minority Leader, Eric Okaka, and Chief Whip, and Hon. Osamwonyi Atu.
Since the inauguration of the 8th Assembly which many now see as the most productive in the last year, over 40 policies have been made and added to its caps, including the passing into law of its Autonomy, a fit highlighting its commitment to serve the people.
