A former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and former Imo State governor, Emeka Ihedioha, who was sacked by the Supreme Court in 2020 had returned to contest for the state governorship election coming up later this year. Meanwhile some kinsmen of Ihedioha have thrown their weight behind Senator Samuel Anyanwu as their candidate for the 2023 Imo governorship election. The Mbaise nation comprising Aboh, Ahiazu and Ezinihitte Mbaise LGAs on Friday passed a vote of confidence on Anyanwu, who is also the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party.
