Today, all National Assembly members are set to sign for their official SUV vehicles to enable them perform their duties effectively. Unlike what I hear happen at the Delta State House of Assembly where opposition lawmakers are being treated like trash. I salute Senator Godswill Akpabio for his kind disposition to all NASS stakeholders”, Atanomeyovwi said.

Let us all rise up to support our illustrious son to succeed in this onerous National assignment”, Atanomeyovwi added.
