Governor Idris Wada of Kogi on Wednesday dissolved the
5th Kogii House of Assembly after completing the statutory four-year tenure
from 2011 to 2015.
The Governor performed the function at a valedictory
session held to mark the end of the assembly inaugurated on March 3, 2011 at
the Ibrahim Saba Assembly Complex in Lokoja.
The governor said that the constitution of the country
empowered him to dissolve the house.
"I, Capt. Idris Wada, Governor of Kogi State by the
powers conferred on me by Section 105(3) of the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) today make a proclamation that the 5th
Kogi State House of Assembly as presently constituted, having successfully
completed its mandate, stands dissolved.”
The speakerof the House, who was full of thanks to the governor, the
legislators and staff, said in spite of daunting challenges, he could say with
pride that the house in the past four years had achieved remarkable success.
"We have worked very hard, using the instrument of
legislation and oversight machinery to drive the economy effectively and
accelerate development of the state.”
