The apex socio-cultural organisation in the South-East, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has described as disgusting the zoning formula for the position of the 10th National Assembly of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The organisation kick against the zoning of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives to the South-East.

Recall, that the National Working Committee of the APC had nominated Senator Godswill Akpabio for the position of Senate President. Hon. Tajudeen Abass from Kaduna State was nominated as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, while the party also anointed Hon. Ben Kalu of Abia State for the position of Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives.

However, Ohanaeze, in a statement issued on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, said the zoning of Deputy Speaker to the region as unreflective and provocative.

The group urged all lawmakers from the region to vote according to their discretions, irrespective of state, religion, or ethnicity during the election.

The statement reads, “The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has watched with grave concern the zoning of principal officers of the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We have also observed that the All Progressives Congress zoned the position of the Deputy Speaker to the South East of Nigeria.

“The Ohanaeze Ndigbo states that allocating the position of the Deputy Speaker to the South East is highly unreflective, disgusting and provocative to the Igbo.

“To this end, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide led by Chief Engr. Dr. Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, CFR (Ahaejiagamba) directs all the Igbo Lawmakers in the 10th National Assembly to vote according to their discretion irrespective of state, religion or ethnicity.”
