Stakeholders of Isuikwuato in Abia State, has dissociated itself from a comment made on President Bola Tinubu by Amobi Ogah, the member-elect for Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency.

Ogah further stated that he will put party affiliation aside and support the All Progressives Congress (APC) nominated candidates for the leadership of the House of Representatives.
The APC had nominated Tajudeen Abbas from Kaduna and Benjamin Kalu from Abia State for the positions of Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the 10th Assembly.

“Today is my best day. Today, I’m so happy that I’m an elected member seeing my president talking. In fact, I’ve never known that this man is so intelligent”.
“I never knew that this man is so prepared to serve this country. I saw the love, character, and charisma; the belief that Nigeria can be a better nation.”
“So, I’m so glad that the meeting we had today is going to take us a little bit to a more stabilised house. Now, even without talking to us again, we have agreed that we are going towards the government’s decision,” he said.
“Not minding (that) I’m of Labour Party, as of now, the party is not the issue. We’re talking about building the nation. We are talking about the unity of the nation”.
