Owerri, Oct. 31, 2016 (NAN) Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo has attributed the present democratic dividends of his administration to the synergy between the executive and legislative arms of government.

Okorocha said this at a reception in honour of the Imo state speaker, Iheanacho Ihim,  the new President of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) in Owerri on Monday.

Okorocha maintained that only the fusion of these arms of government could strengthen democracy.
He added that the existing synergy between both arms was based on the trust reposed in him by the state lawmakers‎ adding that “the removal of bureaucratic bottlenecks is the real secret behind the relationship and achievement.‎”
Gov Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto, who was the chief guest speaker, noted that “no true democracy is without a legislature”.
Tambuwal added that for an even better democratic administration, both the executive and legislative arms should work together to ensure peace and help to actualise the mandate of the people.
He also urged his colleagues to continue to work in synergy with other arms of government;

“It is not about who is bigger or stronger than each other, but it is to have proper checks and balances,”‎ he said.

Gov. Sani Bello of Niger and Gov. Aminu Masari of Katsina attended the occasion.

also in attendance were former senate president Ken Nnamani,members of Conference of Parliamentary Speakers and Secretary General of CPA, Ngalama Dimitris.(NAN)
