Bassey congratulated the Chairman and the Councilors-elect, wishing them a successful term of office.
Responding, the Chairman, Hon Kingsley Arikpo thanked the HOLGA and his management team for sustaining the tempo of coucil administration for the new government to come in.
Arikpo who was not detered of the percievd infrastructural decay and the near absence of a condusive working environment for members of his executive and the Legislature, assured of a rewrite of the narrative, to checkmate the daunting challenges confronting the new administration.
Highlight of the occasion was the inspection of all infrastructural facilities in the council Headquarters of the Obubra ancient town, where the crowd that followed to witness the inspection pressed on him like a messiah.
