The lawmaker representing Ihitte/Ugboma State Constituency, Chike Olemgbe, on Friday, emerged as the speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly.
Olemgbe, a first-time lawmaker, was elected unopposed shortly after the inauguration of the Assembly by Governor Hope Uzodinma in Owerri.
This followed the motion for the election of a new speaker by a member representing Ideato South Constituency, Vitalis Azodo, and seconded by his colleague from Imo Municipal, Ugochukwu Obodo, during the plenary session.
