Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji has charged elected officials in the local governments, especially chairmen and councillors to do away with confrontation and pride in the discharge of their duties but imbibe humility and dedication for the benefit of the people.
