The Speaker promised that the house will pay serious attention to their oversight functions to aid the workings of the government and not to witch-hunt or blackmail any agency of the government as has been allayed in some quarters.
He stated that no amount of blackmail will stop the house from giving legislative backing to support the Governor of Abia State in improving on the lives of Abians and urged his colleagues not to allow anyone intimidate them in the discharge of their duties.
