newsmen on Friday evening.
Onyedi in the statement asserted that the position of the
state should be in the interest of all the elected National Assembly members
from Rivers State who are expected to be formally admitted into either of the
chambers when proclaimed.

declared interest of the state but rather remain focused on electing the
preferred choices.
He admonished them to always work together as a team to make
the desired impact and enjoy the dividends that follow.
Fubara assured the lawmakers of the continued support of the
state government so that they can always remain relevant in national affairs.

for Rivers South-east Senatorial District, Senator Barry Mpigi commended the
