Don't Distort the Image of the House Leadership........ Ebireri

The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, Delta state Chapter has been charged against distorting the leadership of the Delta State House of Assembly.

Making this charge in Asaba, Delta state, Henry Ebireri, Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Delta State House of Assembly, rose in stout defence of the Honourable Speaker, Monday Igbuya, describing him not only as a sincere leader but also as a pious and diligent personality.

Ebireri while praising the Speaker for always rising to defend the interests of the workers, stated that workers are critical to the growth of any society.

According to the CPS, “the growth and development of any state, is hinged upon its workforce as they are a critical component of success.

“Mister Speaker is committed to workers welfare. He will always support them through thick and thin” he said.

Ebireri who stated this while reacting to the strike of Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, (PASAN), Delta State Chapter, not only commended Igbuya for his honest leadership but condemned those distorting the image of the House leadership.

The Speaker's spokesman therefore advised the workers to stop the antagonistic posture against the leadership of the Sixth Assembly.

“The issuance of warrant for outfit allowance is not the responsibility of the Rt. Hon Speaker or the leadership of the assembly”.

“In spite of the current financial crunch, the state is up to date in its obligations to assembly workers. It is appalling that the workers locked all the entrances to the assembly complex and the commission thus barring commission members, political aides and others from entering their offices for normal work over outfit allowance; a matter that is receiving attention from the state government”.

Ebireri therefore advised the workers to join Nigerians, home and abroad, in celebrating the achievements of the Sixth Assembly.

“Mister Speaker will continue to seek what is best for the good people of Delta State” he added.
