Ekweremadu, who spoke at a dinner organised to celebrate the re-election of Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun State by his committee of friends at the MicCom Golf Hotel, Ada, Osun State, at the weekend, said the advice became necessary in the interest of the people who elected them into office.

He urged state lawmakers to follow the footsteps of the present members of the National Assembly who, he said, have decided to work in harmony with the executive arm of the government.

He said what the electorate expects at this point in the nation’s political evolution is development in all its ramifications which could only materialise in a rancour-free environment among the organs of government.

The deputy Senate President cautioned state Houses of Assembly against unnecessary bickering, declaring that healthy discussions would always produce desirable results.

Ekweremadu described Oyinlola as one of the nation’s political assets and promised good working relationship between him, members of the National Assembly from Osun State and the state lawmakers.

Meanwhile, Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo of the Kingsway Church , London , who was present at the event also described the present leadership in Osun State as God-sent, calling for continued peace and harmony in the state.
