The Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Acho Ihim is at the receiving end of several backlashes from the general public, especially Imolites since his “I stand with Ugwumba 2019” placard appeared on the social media.
Each post of the picture showcasing Ihim with the Ugwumba 2019 sign post has left behind unpalatable responses from commentators who are mainly people of the State.
Ugwumba signifies Chief Uche Nwosu, the Chief of Staff to the Imo State government and son-in-law to the governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha. Only recently, a meeting held at his Imo Assembly Speaker’s Lodge saw about 20 of the lawmakers drawn from the APC engage in the endorsement of Nwosu for governor come 2019.
The list of the names of those who endorsed Nwosu, who has Ugwumba title that connotes his campaign organization, includes Speaker Ihim, his Deputy, Ugonna Ozuruigbo and other 18 lawmakers.
Perhaps in further claims that the endorsement was not a fluke, Ihim now came up with “I stand with Ugwumba” signpost and it has flooded the blogsphere.
However, majority of those who commented not only rained abuses at the speaker for lacking the capacity to take charge of a State legislature that has now subjected itself to an appointees, but expressed reservation about the calibre of lawmakers elected to represent the constituents in present dispensation.
The comments copied from Facebook of a known social media activist and lawyer in Owerri, Imo State, Kissinger Ikeokwu with a caption “just lukat Speaker of Imo House of As “h” embly. If I was a member I better resign,” state as follows;
Adolph Ugoo: What a shame

Success Kabiri: As a product of Busy brain, we sympathised with him at his defense in Imo House of Assembly that year. I lost some of my friends in that unfortunate venture.
Okoro Uzondu Small: The moment he was made the Speaker of IMHA, I knew we don enter one chance. The notorious Busy Brain Academy that year.

Nobody says he can’t support who he wants, but he must imbibe decency and the sacred duty imposed on him to act in the interest of Ndi Imo. This time it is no longer support for governor but being a campaign boy. Chai
Kelechi Chukwu Kingsley: I don’t know if I should start crying. Imo state! How did thou degenerate to this level? The number 3 citizen of Imo publicly declaring loyalty to and appointee. Too bad. Is high time we woke up from slumber O Imolites. None of the 20 names deserves to smell that Hon. House again come 2019. Harrison Agbugba C please, if it is true include their signatures, passport and phone number’s. hon chiji collins i know is a core Araraume supporter must not be there!
Kelechi Chukwu Kingsley: Not my making, is as published in a lot of local tabloids.

Chima Calis Emeadi :Rabble Rousers in the House.This state totally collapsed the very day Acho Ihim emerged as the leader of these bunch of boothlickers. Imagine our so called speaker carrying emblem and even necklace of Uche Nwosu.Congrats good boy!!!. Duruji Ogechi Duke: Is a pity.
Chinonso Iwuoha: But reality points to the fact that Acho Ihim has brought more development to Okigwe zone than even past Governor from that zone. Supporting Ugwumba doesn’t make him bad.
