The Senate in Abuja on Wednesday administered oath of office on Chief Emmanuel Aguariavwodo, the new senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District.
Aguariavwodo, elected on the platform of the PDP, replaced late Sen. Pius Ewherido of Democratic Peoples Party (DPP), who died on June 30, 2013.
The new senator, who briefed newsmen after the plenary, said he was grateful for the support the Senate gave the people of Delta when Ewherido died.
According to NAN report, the new Senator promised to continue the projects started by the deceased senator, adding that they were all working to improve the living conditions of the people of Delta.
“We believe in continuity, government is a continuum so whatever project that my predecessor started we will continue to support them with the best of our ability.
“We believe that most of the projects he started were to the benefit of our people, so, we will continue to make sure that those projects are brought to fruition,’’ he said.
Meanwhile, the Senate on Wednesday deferred consideration on the National Health Bill to another legislative day.
One of the amendments affected, included that a health care officer should not refuse anyone on emergency treatment for any reason whatsoever.
It would be recalled that health practitioners refuse treatment to patients with gunshot wounds unless such a patient had a police report.
