The Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Dennis Guwor, has emerged as the Chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria, marking a major milestone for both the Delta State Legislature and legislative governance in the country.
Guwor’s election has been widely described as a well-deserved elevation, reflecting his leadership capacity, legislative experience, and commitment to strengthening democratic institutions at the sub-national level.
In a congratulatory message, his emergence was hailed as “a significant milestone for the Delta State Legislature, underscoring Delta State’s growing influence in legislative leadership and promoting more effective inter-legislative collaboration across Nigeria.”
Political observers say the new role places Delta State at the heart of national legislative coordination, offering the state an expanded platform to contribute to policy dialogue, peer learning, and cooperation among state assemblies nationwide.
The Conference of Speakers serves as a strategic forum for harmonising legislative practices, defending the autonomy of state legislatures, and advancing good governance across Nigeria’s federating units. As Chairman, Rt. Hon. Guwor is expected to play a key role in fostering unity among state assemblies while driving reforms that strengthen lawmaking and oversight.
His elevation has also been celebrated as a source of pride for Deltans, reinforcing the state’s reputation for producing leaders of national relevance and influence.
Stakeholders have expressed confidence that Guwor’s tenure will usher in a renewed era of collaboration, innovation, and institutional strengthening within Nigeria’s legislative landscape.
