👤 About Rt. Hon. Emmanuel Ihuoma "Emma" Emeruwa
Emmanuel Ihuoma "Emma" Emeruwa is a Nigerian politician who represents Aba South State Constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly. He previously served as Executive Chairman of Aba South Local Government Area.
Emeruwa was a freshman lawmaker when, on 14 June 2023, he was unanimously elected Speaker of the 8th Abia State House of Assembly, becoming the assembly's eighth speaker and the first from the Labour Party, as the LP swept both the executive and legislative arms of Abia State government in the 2023 elections.
