ABIA: Group Threatens Speaker Over Aba North Constituency Seat

A coalition of youth groups representing various ethnicities in Aba North, Abia State, is demanding the Abia State House of Assembly declare the constituency’s seat vacant. The group issued a seven-day ultimatum to Speaker Emmanuel Emereuwa, threatening city-wide protests if their demands are not met.

The Aba North seat has been embroiled in controversy since November 2023. A Court of Appeal judgement removed Destiny Nwagwu (LP) and declared Aaron Uzodike (PDP) the winner. However, Uzodike hasn’t been inaugurated despite his appeals.
