The Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Dennis Guwor, has been elected as the Chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria, a testament to his exceptional leadership and legislative prowess. 
Guwor’s unanimous election by his colleagues from across the 36 states at the General Meeting in Abuja is a reflection of the trust reposed in his ability to drive meaningful change. As Chairman, he is expected to leverage his experience to strengthen inter-parliamentary collaboration, promote legislative independence, and enhance lawmaking at the sub-national level.
The Conference of Speakers serves as a vital platform for promoting unity and best practices among state assemblies, and Guwor’s leadership is anticipated to champion reforms that empower state legislatures, promote capacity building, and encourage idea exchange among Speakers.
Observers note that Guwor’s emergence positions Delta State prominently on the national political map, recognizing the Assembly’s strides in fostering harmony between the executive and legislative arms, accountability, and transparency. Stakeholders describe his election as timely, given the critical role state legislatures play in democratic consolidation and grassroots development.
The Delta State Government and people are proud of this achievement, seeing it as a collective victory.
Guwor’s leadership is expected to bring renewed vigor and purpose to the Conference, strengthening legislative governance across Nigeria.
