Somtochukwu Udeze, the member representing Ogbaru II Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly, has been elected speaker of the assembly.
Mr Udeze’s defection from the PDP to APGA happened shortly after a meeting between the lawmakers and Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State. Messrs Udeze and Okoye were sworn in by the acting Clerk of the House, Esther Aneto, who also decorated the new speaker. “Granted that the eighth assembly has four political parties represented here, but irrespective of party affiliation and loyalty, we must face the task put before us by the Anambra electorate and not party loyalty,” Mr Udeze said.Addressing the lawmakers, Mr Soludo urged them to see their task as one with the same goal as that of the state executive in building a liveable and prosperous state.
