Governorship candidate of the Action Alliance (AA) in the 2019 election in Imo State, Ugwumba Uche Ñwosu, has given the assurance that members of the House of Representatives – elect under the platform of AA will support the choice of President Muhammadu Buhari for the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Nwosu who spoke with selected journalists in Imo state also stated that the Reps elected under the APC in the state, will also support Femi Gbajabiamila in line with President Buhari’s directive.
Nwosu, who is currently challenging the Imo governorship election in the Tribunal, noted that the party had an alliance with the APC to support President Buhari’s second term, adding that it will still stand by him on the issue of the National Assembly leadership.
According to him, “The South-East played a wrong political card in 2019 and the best way to remedy the situation is to support President Buhari on the current issue of the National Assembly leadership instead of engaging in another political miscalculation that will further complicate its political position.”
He added, “I have been supporting President Buhari before and during the election because of his integrity and uprightness and I will continue to do so irrespective of political or other sentiments.”
