Controversy is currently brewing at the Abia State House of Assembly, after the Speaker, Emmanuel Emeruwa, announced the member representing Arochukwu state constituency, Hon. Uchenna Okoro, of the Labour Party, as the majority leader of the House dominated by the Peoples Democratic Party {PDP}.
The PDP has 11 members, LP 10, YPP 2 and APC 1 in the 24 member Assembly.
Emeruwa, while announcing the names of the principal officers of the House, explained that with the understanding reached between the LP, YPP and the APC, it was pertinent that he announces the leadership of the Assembly.
