Briefing newsmen at his residence in Abakaliki, Nwazunku stated that the matter had been fully resolved internally.

He called on the aggrieved members to sheath their sword for peace to reign in the state.

Meanwhile, in a dramatic circumstance this morning also, the member representing Ohaozara East state constituency, Hon. Nnenna Nweme who alleged that she was attacked by thugs loyal to Nwazunku reversed her earlier claim.

According to her: “I was not attacked by the Speaker’s men. I was rather deceived by the other group to stand against Nwazunku. I am now with Hon. Chukwuma Nwazunka. He is a good man and I am with him”.
