Amobi Ogah, a Labour Party member-elect of the House of Representatives, says he never knew that President Bola Tinubu is “so intelligent” and “prepared” to lead the country.

“Today is my best day. Today, I’m so happy that I’m an elected member seeing my president (Tinubu) talking. In fact, I’ve never known that this man is so intelligent,” Ogah said on Thursday after members-elect of the national assembly met with Tinubu at the presidential villa.
“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.”
Ogah, will represent Isuikwuato/Umunneochi federal constituency of Abia in the 10th assembly,
“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,” he continued.
Vowing to support Tinubu, Ogah said that his interest in building Nigeria is beyond political party.
“We have agreed that we are going towards government decision not minding I am of Labour Party. Now the party is not the issue. We are talking about building Nigeria. We are talking about the unity of Nigeria.”
