By CHARLES IWUOHA
The Abia state House of Assembly has successfully screened and confirmed 16 Commissioner nominees forwarded by governor Alex Otti.
The confirmation followed the thorough screening procedure which took place at the hallowed chamber of the Abia State House of Assembly on Tuesday.
The Speaker, Rt Hon Emmanuel Emeruwa, after the painstaking exercise asked the Clerk/Head of Legislative Service, Dr Johnpedro Irokansi to transmit the outcome of the session to the Governor Dr. Alex Otti for necessary action.
Speaking during the plenary, the Deputy Speaker, Rt Hon Augustine Okezie Meregini expressed dissatisfaction on the disposition of the opposition PDP members to hold the 8th Assembly to ransom, calling for legislative action to forestall the anomaly.
