Ozuruigbo, who spoke with journalists in Owerri, stated that the representatives from APC and AA had already queued behind Hon Femi Gbajiabiamila as the Speaker in line with the directions of the party.

According to Ozuruigbo who is the serving Deputy Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Gbajabiamila will emerge the next Speaker of the Green Chamber going by the growing support he is enjoying among the lawmakers. Ozurigbo,who is the Gbajabiamila’s coordinator in the Southeast, noted that apart from representatives elected under the platform of the APC, those from other political parties are also solidly behind Gbajabiamila’s ambition. He said that as a founding member of the APC, he could not be seen to be opposing the decision of the party and that of President Muhammadu Buhari.
