Speaker of the Imo House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Acho Ihim has expressed confidence that the Action Alliance, AA, gubernatorial candidate in Imo State, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu would win the 2019 governorship elections.
Speaker Ihim is one of the 14 lawmakers in the Imo State House of Assembly who defected to the Action Alliance recently in solidarity with Nwosu, who is also son in-law to Governor Rochas Okorocha and governorship candidate of AA.
Speaking to Nigeria Newspoint, recently, Speaker Ihim noted that with the solid political structures set up by Ugwumba Nwosu, the coast was clear for the AA governorship candidate, Nwosu, to emerge victorious in 2019. He also added that other governorship candidates in Imo cannot boast of having a similar advantage as Ugwumba so as to win in 2019.
Ihim also expressed optimism that with the widespread support AA was enjoying in the state with Nwosu and himself as running mate, the party remained the most potent force to reckon with ahead of the 2019 governorship election in Imo State.
