I Never Knew He’s So Intelligent’ – LP Rep-Elect Speaks After Meeting Tinubu

Member-elect, House of Representatives, Amobi Ogah has said he did not know that President Bola Tinubu is “so intelligent”.

Gatekeepers News reports that Ogah, who will represent Isuikwuato/Umunneochi federal constituency of Abia in the 10th Assembly said this after members-elect of the National Assembly met with Tinubu at the presidential villa on Thursday.

Elected on the platform of the Labour Party (LP), the rep-elect said Tinubu’s charisma shows that he is ready for the challenging task of leading the nation.

Ogah said, “Today is my best day. Today, I’m so happy that I’m an elected member seeing my president talking. In fact, I’ve never known that this man is so intelligent.

“I never knew that this man is so prepared to serve this country. I saw the love, character, and charisma — the belief that Nigeria can be a better nation.”

The Rep-Elect added that he would support the All Progressives Congress (APC) nominated candidates for the leadership of the House of Representatives.

Ogah said, “So I’m so glad that the meeting we had today is going to take us a little bit to a more stabilised house. Now, even without talking to us again, we have agreed that we are going towards the government’s decision.”

The APC had nominated Tajudeen Abbas from Kaduna and Benjamin Kalu from Abia for the positions of speaker and deputy speaker of the 10th assembly.

He spoke further, “Not minding (that) I’m of Labour Party, as of now, the party is not the issue. We’re talking about building the nation. We are talking about the unity of the nation.”

Peter Obi, who was the standard-bearer of the LP in the 2023 presidential election, lost to Tinubu of the APC.

Obi and the LP are currently challenging Tinubu’s victory at the presidential election tribunal.
