The Deputy Speaker, Abia House of Assembly,
Alwell Asiforo Okere, has been elected and sworn
in as the new Speaker. The event took place
barley a week to end the 5th session of the
house. His election followed the formal
resignation of the former Speaker, Ude Oko
Chukwu last Thursday and his subsequent
swearing in as the Deputy Governor of the state.
The new Speaker was nominated by the member
representing Umuahia North, Emeka Isaac Ejiogu
and his nomination was seconded by Tony Mezie
Nwaubani, member representing Ukwa West
respectively.
Subsequently, the Leader of the House, Barr
Chidiebere Nwoke representing Umuahia East
was elected the Deputy Speaker while the Deputy
Leader, P.C. Onyegbu representing Bende South,
is now the Leader.
The Whip, Dr. Ikechukwu Nwabeke representing
Osisioma Ngwa North is now the Deputy Leader,
while Deputy Whip, Humphrey Azubuike
representing Ugwunagbo is the Whip, and Mba
Ukaha member representing Ohafia South is now
Deputy Whip.

All these olodo blogers wey full town. Will it be right to say that Gbajamila has lost the speakership position because ihedioha has been sworn in as the speaker? In as much as i dnt dnt want the orjis the info is wrong

Op you're wrong. The former speaker was sworn in as deputy governor last friday. So TA Orji's son is yet to be inaugurated. Don't deceive some gullible nairalanders.

Pls what's the scope of work of the whip?
