Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has said despite the dwindling fortunes of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South East, it would take over the zone in 2023.
He noted that the defection of Governor David Umahi and some other political bigwigs into the ruling party was a strong indication that the party would flourish beyond expectations in the zone.
He spoke at Ohatekwe Amagu Ikwo, Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State during the fifth matriculation ceremony of Blessed Martins International Institute of Science and Technology (BMIIST).
Speaking after he commissioned an ultramodern laboratory and Information Communication and Technology (ICT) complex named after him, he appealed to APC leaders and members in the state to continue to support the party
He commended the member representing Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Constituency, Chief Chinedu Ogah for all he has been doing to promote the party in the state.
