“Since the governor is from Abia South and an Ngwa man, the deputy governor from Abia North, it will be proper for the Ikwuano/Umuahia to produce the speaker for the sake of balance. Isiala Ngwa north and south are our Ngwa brothers and the governor is ngwa”
When asked if he has a favored candidate from Ikwuano/Umuahia, he had this to say;
