BY JUDE OSSAI / ENUGU

All is now set for the 8th inauguration of the Enugu State House of Assembly for members-elect slated for Tuesday, June 13, this year.

In a statement signed by the

Clerk of the House/Head of Legislative Service, Dr Emma Udaya said the inauguration would be held in the hallowed chamber of the state assembly complex at Independence Layout by 10am.

According to the statement, “Every member-elect is expected to bring the originals of his/her certificate of return from INEC and Code of Conduct Acknowledgement slip of Assets declaration to the Clerk of the House for sighting and verification.

“All members-elect are advised to be seated on their respective Constituency seats in the hallowed chamber of the House at 9.30am as punctuality is an invaluable decorum of the honourable House!” the statement concluded.

Recalled that the Labour Party (LP) is having 14 members-elect while the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has 10 with ranking lawmakers-elect, arguably a development that gives the PDP members-elect legal backing to produce the Speaker of the House.

The public announcement has ended the speculation that the inauguration of the 8th Assembly would be held in utmost secrecy.
