10th Assembly: We’ll make laws to promote good governance – Reps member-elect, Offiono

House of Representatives member-elect for Ogoja/Yala Federal Constituency of Cross River State, Godwin Offiono says the 10th National Assembly will come up with laws that will add values to society, especially in critical aspects of governance.

He disclosed this while speaking to newsmen on the sidelines of the 10th National Assembly Induction Programme at the International Conference Centre in Abuja on Friday.

“I have seen the zeal, the interest exhibited by members-elect to ensure that a new narrative is created by way of making legislation that will add value to the society in the areas of agriculture, education, security and those basic things. I am in for that, and in our interactions, the need for quality representation has been propagated and projected. We are quite optimistic that we will make a change in the 10th assembly,” he said.

On the race for speakership, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member-elect said his colleagues will only elect someone with the capacity to perform irrespective of the zoning arrangement of the ruling party.

“I have always been an apologist of excellence. We are looking at who can do the job. We have had interactions with a couple of aspirants yearning to be speaker in the 10th assembly. We have looked at about five persons and I have taken a position on where to go, irrespective of the zoning arrangement by the ruling party,” Offiono added.

He thanked his constituents for the confidence reposed in him by voting for him massively during the last general election.

The lawmaker-elect promised to deliver democratic dividends and quality representation to his constituents at all times
