Speaker, Rt.
Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has announced the appointment of Commissioners who will
pilot the affairs of the Delta State Independent Electoral Commission, (DSIEC).
The appointment
of the Commissioners which is subject to Screening and subsequent Confirmation
by the House, was contained in a letter sent to the House by Governor Ifeanyi
Okowa.
The letter read in part stated that, "In exercise of the
powers conferred on me by section 198 of the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended. I wish to submit as here under, the list
of nominees for appointment as Members of the Delta State Independent Electoral
Commission, (DSIEC). The members include:

The Governor
urged the House to take early action on the nominees for consideration and
confirmation to enable him effect their appointments as required by
Constitution.
The Speaker
thereafter asked the nominees to submit 35 copies of their Curriculum Vitae and
appear before the House tomorrow, September 20, 2017 for screening.
It will be
recalled that the former DSIEC Board was sacked by the House on the grounds of
defects in the law which brought them into the Commission.
The executive
thereafter sent in a new bill for the electoral body which was swiftly passed
by the House.
