Okezie inaugurates Abia Assembly
… Azubuike elected as Speaker
The 6th Abia State House of Assembly was inaugurated by the Clerk and Permanent Secretary of the House, Johnpedro Irokansi, after reading Governor Okezie Ikpeazu’s proclamation.
Ikpeazu had earlier sent an order of proclamation of the House to the clerk, asking the Assembly to be inaugurated.
He urged them to eschew rancour and ensure they make laws that will move the state forward.
The House thereafter went into the election of the Speaker which saw a third term Peoples Democratic Party member, representing Isiala Ngwa North state constituency, Martins Azubike, emerging as Speaker unopposed.
Cosmos Ndukwe, a former chief of staff to former governor Theodore Orji, emerged the Deputy Speaker after polling 13 votes to edge out Ikedi Ezekwesili of All Progressive Grand Alliance who polled nine votes.
