The financial status of the legislature is in the public domain. Every lawmaker knows what comes to the House. Quoting fictitious figures and nonexistent sources is a fluke.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv3092609973ydp3411f8ddMsoNoSpacing\">The lawmaker who represents Isiala Mbano State Constituency, said that the legislature he heads is known for team work and love among colleagues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv3092609973ydp3411f8ddMsoNoSpacing\">He said &#8220;here in the Imo state House of Assembly, we are like brothers and sisters. There is no rancour among us. Our primary objective is helping the governor in rebuilding the state. We pay attention to issues of development and security for our people, not pedestrian issues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv3092609973ydp3411f8ddMsoNoSpacing\">&#8220;It is on record that this 9th House has supported the governor in his developmental plans for the state. It is on record that we are the only House that had in less than three months passed eight bills into law. This is record breaking. This Assembly has equally given premium attention to motions which are geared towards improving the states of our people. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv3092609973ydp3411f8ddMsoNoSpacing\">Speaker Chiji said that he would rather concentrate on his assignment of leading a house of pragmatic and patriotic Imo citizens towards rebuilding the state than being dragged into trivialities which enemies of the state were sponsoring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Dr Collins Chiji, has said
