Hon Onwo who is the immediate past Majority Leader of the House, said he had followed with keen interest public reactions since the appointment was announced on Tuesday and commended the Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s choice of Hon Ighrakpata to head the revenue board.

Onwo who described Ighrakpata as upright and dependable, said the Internal Revenue Service was key to the development of the state, hence the need for a tested and trusted professional to handle the affairs of the board.

The Lawmaker maintained that the appointment of Ighrakpata was a square peg in a square hole, and expressed optimism that he will deliver in his new assignment in the state.
